Comparison of giant radio pulses in young pulsars and millisecond pulsars

, 2007
Pulse-to-pulse intensity variations are a common property of pulsar radio emission. For some of the objects single pulses are often 10-times stronger than their average pulse. The most dramatic events are so-called giant radio pulses (GRPs).

Modal Logic and Modal Metaphysics: An Avicennian Division of Labour

Context matters for the relationship between national identity and perceived democratic quality: National pride as a blind spot

British Journal of Social Psychology, Volume 65, Issue 3, July 2026.
