After the pulsar discovery became public Jocelyn and I were just invaded by… by media of various kinds and the name ‘pulsar’ came about pretty rapidly and people have often asked, did you think of that or did somebody else? And the answer is that we didn’t think about that. The… the name pulsar came, I was told, later by… by a letter from the science correspondent of the Daily Telegraph. I’m trying to think of his name at the moment. Memory fails for me at this… at this age, but I’ve got it down somewhere. He wrote to me years after and said, ‘I invented that name’ and I think it’s a true story because nobody… nobody else has said they invented the name ‘pulsar’. I mean, we were far too busy trying to do the science and… and answer more serious questions than to give these things name tags like that, but it’s a jolly good name, ‘pulsar’, and it’s stuck like ‘quasar’ and other names in astronomy, ‘black holes’. It’s a name with a resonance and I think it means something to people in general now. Pulsars do pulse and it’s an obvious name to call them. But in those days we didn’t know whether they were white dwarfs or neutron stars or whatever they were and when that name was invented, but it was the science correspondent of the… of the Daily Telegraph who actually did it.
