Pulsar punches hole in stellar disk

Post by tvi »

http://phys.org/news/2015-07-pulsar-hol ... -disk.html
A fast-moving pulsar appears to have punched a hole in a disk of gas around its companion star and launched a fragment of the disk outward at a speed of about 4 million miles per hour.
These observations show the clump moving away from B1259 at an average speed of about 7% of the speed of light. The data also indicate that the clump has been accelerated to 15% of the speed of light between the second and third observations.

Wasn't that the pulsar that Starfleet used to contact Voyager in the Delta Quadrant? It is pretty bad when Star Trek's science makes more sense than modern astronomy.

What you have there is a star moving in the ultra-high speed (3-x) range, spitting out a linear jet (as in M-87). Astronomers miss it because to account for the pulsing, they have to spin the star at 120 RPM, which is totally ridiculous, so it cannot possibly have a "tail" (actually a jet).

In the RS the star isn't spinning, just puilsing EM emissions (described in QP), and will have a axial jet that will negate the gravitational motion of anything in its path, so any matter that intersects it will begin to be carried by the progression of the natural reference system, appearing to accelerate it to the speed of light. (Nothing is actually being pushed--just the dimension of motion that would normally be inward is no longer having any effect, so outward motion becomes the dominant motion.)

X-rays occur when FTL matter drops below unit speed, back to low speed. The X-ray emissions observed are probably from the FTL matter falling out of the jet.
Every dogma has its day...
