PSR B1620−26 A is the radioactive neutron^[1] pulsar^[2] star of the PSR B1620−26 system.^[3]

This spinning star has existed for billions of years and is in fact an collapsed white dwarf.

Creation

Scientists theorize that PSR B1620-26's pulsar was originally a sun that drew in the systems other two bodies, but then collapsed and exploded as a neutron star^[4], without the mass to survive the force it collapsed and forms an incredibly small pulsar^[5] with 100 times the ambient radiation of the earth.

However, due to its gravity and magnetic fields, it tears electrons away from the star's surface^[6] and blasts them out into space creating visible light and radiation^[1].

This pulsar also is one for the oldest, along with the system's planet, PSR B1620−26 b.^[1]

Effect on the system

The pulsar in its current state does not affect the white dwarf, however the beams of the pulsar do regularly interact with the systems planet, leading to its discovery. The pulsar's beams of magnetic radiation make the planet absolutely miserable due to the cold of space and the radiation blasts.
