Pulsars and Notes

Pulsars are stars that spin as they emit a beam of electro-magnetic radiation. When a pulsar faces Earth, we can detect this beam and by detecting it again, we can find out how fast the pulsar is spinning, in other words, its spinning frequency. Here we assemble a collection of 369 pulsars that spin at frequencies that lie in the range of sound frequencies we can hear. We also list the frequencies of notes of the Piano to see where they fit in.

Sounds of Pulsars is a 6 volume album that has a 1 minute clip of each of the 369 pulsarsThe clips were automatically yet accurately generated with DIN Is Noise

Data for name and spinning frequency of each Pulsar is from ATNF Pulsar Database
