Scientists have discovered a pulsar, which gave rise to it over the supernova

In the Small Magellanic Cloud galaxy, researchers have discovered the pulsar, together with traces of a supernova explosion, as a result of which is usually formed by this kind of neutron stars, which are a source of various types of electromagnetic radiation that reaches the planet at regular intervals, ITAR -TASS.
... We opened the first example of such a pair in the Small Magellanic Cloud ...
He believes that the explosion of a supernova detected occurred during the period from 40 to 10 thousand. years ago. These calculations confirmed the second group of astronomers led by Frank Haberl from the German Max Planck Institute.
It is assumed that the discovery of pulsars SXP 1062, referring to a number of features to be significantly older than the supernova. Pulsars during the active phase of its evolution very rapidly rotate around its own axis, sometimes making hundreds of revolutions per second. SXP 1062, on the contrary, turns very slowly, making a full rotation around its axis roughly every 18 minutes. This feature requires age, which does not correspond to the young, the space standards, a supernova.
