Scientific paper

Recent observations from ESO have been used to locate the first pulsar outside the Milky Way. The object, named PSR 0540-693 was created by a supernova which exploded in the Large Magellanic Cloud, some 760 years ago. It is a neutron star, spinning 50.4 times per second. To find the precise position a novel instrument, called TRIFFID/MAMA, was developed. Subsequent data analysis has revealed, that an object close to the center of the nebula is blinking at the expected frequency.
