Radio Pulse Profiles from Pulsating White Dwarfs

Nature volume 219, pages 23–26 (1968)Cite this article

Abstract

Radii and relative rotation rates have been deduced for the four known pulsating radio sources. Most of the emission appears to come from a wide belt near latitude 20° in each hemisphere, a distribution very similar to that of solar magnetic activity. Rotation rates increase and radii decrease with decreasing period.
