A new source of radio bursts, ASKAP J193505.1+214841.0, has irregular bursts with lengthy intervals, possibly not fitting the traditional pulsar model.
Contrary to perception, pulsars don't truly pulse; their rotating magnetic poles emit radio waves when they align with Earth, appearing as pulsing beacons.
If a pulsar rotates too slowly, radio emissions cease, indicating potential shutdown if pulse intervals become too prolonged and magnetic fields weaken.
The timeframe before a pulsar shuts down due to long pulse intervals is uncertain, challenging current knowledge of pulsar behavior.
