1. Story
2. Jocelyn Bell, a postgraduate student at Cambridge, isolated a recurring signal on chart recordings from the array she had helped build. The source, CP 1919, pulsed with a period near 1.337 seconds and a stability that no known stellar process could produce. Within months it was interpreted as a rotating neutron star, confirming the 1934 hypothesis. The 1968 announcement in Nature carried Antony Hewish's name first; the 1974 Nobel Prize went to Hewish and Ryle and not to Bell.

23. Evidence
24. Reports the first pulsar, CP 1919, with a period near 1.337 s. Journal, volume and page come from institutional summaries of the discovery read via search; the paper was not fetched, and the 28 November 1967 identification date and the exact period value are from University of Cambridge and American Physical Society accounts rather than the paper.
