NASA Space Telescope Maps Magnetic Fields of 'Lighthouse' Pulsar
Scientists have successfully measured the magnetic field of the Lighthouse pulsar’s nebula using NASA’s IXPE. Their measurements confirm the theory that high-energy particles escape along the galaxy’s magnetic field lines. This composite image contains X-ray data from IXPE in blue (highlighted in the inset), the Chandra X-ray Observatory in purple, and radio data from CSIRO in green. The starfield is optical data from the 2MASS optical survey. Credit: X-ray: Chandra: NASA/CXC/Stanford Univ./J.T. Dinsmore et al.; IXPE: NASA/MSFC/J.T.

For the first time, scientists have used NASA's IXPE (Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer) to directly measure the magnetic fields of PSR J1101−6101, a pulsar located within what is often referred to as the Lighthouse Nebula. The results provide new insight into the structure of some of the most extreme objects in the cosmos, as NASA continues to explore the secrets of how the universe works. A paper describing the results was published Thursday in The Astrophysical Journal.

For the past decade, managed detection and response (MDR) has been the practical answer to a straightforward problem: most organizations cannot staff a security operations center around the clock with experienced analysts. MDR providers filled that gap, and for many companies, particularly in the mid-market, it worked well enough. You pay a monthly fee, alerts flow to an external team and investigators you never meet handle triage on your behalf.
