Pulsar planets are planets that are found orbiting pulsars. Pulsars are rapidly rotating neutron stars. The first ever planets discovered around another star, were discovered around a millisecond pulsar . Pulsar planets are discovered through pulsar timing measurements, to detect anomalies in the pulsation period. Any bodies orbiting the pulsar will cause regular changes in its pulsation. Since pulsars normally rotate at near-constant speed, any changes can easily be detected with the help of precise timing measurements.
