# PSR J1435-6100

PSR J1435-6100 is a millisecond pulsar in the constellation [Centaurus](https://spacecatalog.org/constellation/centaurus), 9188 ly from Earth.

## At a glance

- **WHAT IT IS:** Millisecond pulsar
- **HOW FAR:** 9188 ly — The light arriving now left it that long ago.
- **WHERE TO LOOK:** [Centaurus](https://spacecatalog.org/constellation/centaurus) — The patch of sky it sits in, as seen from Earth.

## Properties

| Quantity | Value |
| --- | --- |
| CLASS | Millisecond pulsar |
| DISTANCE FROM EARTH | 9188 ly — by dispersion measure through the YMW16 electron-density model |
| CONSTELLATION | Centaurus |
| RIGHT ASCENSION (J2000) | 14h 35m 20.3s |
| DECLINATION (J2000) | −61° 00′ 58.0″ |

## Catalogue data

### WHAT KIND OF THING IT IS

What the object is in itself, rather than how it happens to look from here.

| Field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Surface magnetic field | 4.84×10⁸ G |
| Spin period | 0.00934797 s |
| Spin-down rate | 2.45×10⁻²⁰ s/s |
| Characteristic age | 6.05×10⁹ yr |
| Spin-down luminosity | 1.18×10³³ erg/s |

### HOW BRIGHT IT IS

What the light adds up to, measured through one filter at a time. A magnitude is a brightness on a backwards scale — the smaller the number, the brighter the object.

| Field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Radio flux at 1400 MHz | 0.313 mJy |

### WHERE IT IS AND HOW IT MOVES

Position, motion across the sky and the size it covers on it. These are measurements of the object as seen from here, so every one of them depends on where here is.

| Field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Position known to | 7.9 mas |
| Dispersion measure | 113.78 pc/cm³ |

### THE ORBIT

The shape of the path, where the object sits on it, and the instant those figures were true of. An orbit is a fit to observations and drifts away from the real one either side of its epoch.

| Field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Binary orbit model | ELL1 |
