These objects can exhibit a quadratic transverse Doppler shift known as the Shklovskii effect.
These objects can exhibit a quadratic transverse Doppler shift known as the Shklovskii effect. The distance to one of these objects can be estimated from the line-of-sight electron column density, known as the dispersion measure. A braking index of less than 3 can occur in models where the magnetic and rotational axes are misaligned, producing a "lighthouse effect." Initially termed "LGM" upon their discovery by Jocelyn Bell and Anthony Hewish, FTP name these rapidly-spinning, magnetized neutron stars whose emission sweeps past Earth at regular intervals.
