Abstract
Burbidge and Strittmatter1 have suggested that a small orbiting companion of a neutron star might trigger pulses of radio emission, in a way analogous to the lo effect in Jupiter. They propose a satellite of mass m < 1027 g, to avoid difficulties with gravitational radiation, orbiting at a distance R = 108 cm to give a period of the order observed in pulsars.
