Context triple: [Arecibo Observatory, discovered, first millisecond pulsar PSR B1937+21]
  • A. neutron star hypothesis
    The neutron star hypothesis is Fritz Zwicky’s pioneering proposal that supernova explosions leave behind extremely dense stellar remnants composed primarily of neutrons, now known as neutron stars.
  • B. Baade’s star
    Baade’s star is a luminous, variable star in the Andromeda Galaxy notable for its role in Walter Baade’s work refining the cosmic distance scale.
  • C. Tolman surface brightness test
    The Tolman surface brightness test is an observational cosmology method that checks whether the universe is expanding by examining how the surface brightness of distant galaxies diminishes with redshift.
  • D. Oppenheimer–Volkoff limit
    The Oppenheimer–Volkoff limit is the theoretical maximum mass a neutron star can have before collapsing into a black hole under its own gravity.
  • E. Cocconi
    Cocconi is an Italian surname most notably associated with physicist Giuseppe Cocconi, a pioneer in particle physics and early SETI research.
  • F. None of above. chosen
  • G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
