Pulsar planet
Exoplanet orbiting a pulsar
Pulsar planets are planets that are orbiting pulsars. The first such planets to be discovered were around a millisecond pulsar in 1992 and were the first extrasolar planets to be confirmed as discovered. Pulsars are extremely precise clocks, and even small planets can create detectable variations in pulsar traits.

From Wikipedia
Pulsar planets are planets that are orbiting pulsars. The first such planets to be discovered were around a millisecond pulsar in 1992 and were the first extrasolar planets to be confirmed as discovered. Pulsars are extremely precise clocks, and even small planets can create detectable variations in pulsar traits. As of 2025, the least massive exoplanet observed by humans is a pulsar planet. They are extremely rare, with only half a dozen listed by the NASA Exoplanet Archive. Only special processes can give rise to planet-sized companions around pulsars, and many are thought to be exotic bodies, such as planets made of diamond, that were formed through the partial destruction of a companion star. Pulsars' intense radiation and winds — consisting of electron-positron pairs — would tend to strip atmospheres away from such planets, exposing the surface to the stellar elements, and making them extraordinarily unlikely abodes for life.
