M28 position
The M28 is slightly elliptical, and the M28 can be observed with an 8cm telescope. It requires a larger telescope to decompose the fixed star
18 in M28 RR Lyrae variable There is also a variable star (Cepheid type II) with a period of 17 days, and there is another variable star Long-period variable star (variable star 17).
In 1987, it was found in m28 that there was a millisecond level Pulsar neutron star )And numbered PSRB1821 – 24, making M28 the first pulsar Globular cluster The rotation period of the pulsar is 11 milliseconds.
M28 is to the right of lambda Sagittarius.
