Draft:PSR B1620−26 A
| Submission declined on 25 August 2024 by Pygos (talk). The proposed article does not have sufficient content to require an article of its own, but it could be merged into the existing article at PSR B1620−26 A. Since anyone can edit Wikipedia, you are welcome to add that information yourself. Thank you.

Comment: Yes, and after reviewing your sources and contents, many of them are about the general properties of pulsars and neutron stars, which probably doesn't deserve to take up half of the article. Pygos (talk) 01:35, 26 August 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: It should be merged into the article PSR B1620−26 Pygos (talk) 07:07, 25 August 2024 (UTC)

 Rendition of the pulsar |
PSR B1620−26 A is the radioactive[1] pulsar[2] star of the PSR B1620−26 system.
This spinning star has existed for billions of years and is in fact an collapsed white dwarf.[3][4]
Origin
[edit]Scientists theorize that PSR B1620-26's pulsar was originally a sun that drew in the systems other two bodies, but then collapsed and exploded as a neutron star,[5] without the mass to survive the force it collapsed and formed an incredibly small pulsar[6] with 100 times the ambient radiation of the earth.
However, due to its gravity and magnetic fields, it tears electrons away from the star's surface[7] and blasts them out into space creating visible light and radiation.[1]
This pulsar also is one for the oldest, along with the system's planet, PSR B1620−26 b.[1]
Effect on the system
[edit]The pulsar in its current state does not affect the white dwarf, however the beams of the pulsar do regularly interact with the system's planet, leading to its discovery.[8] The pulsar's beams of magnetic radiation make the planet uninhabitable due to the cold of space and the radiation blasts.[citation needed]
