'''7777/7776''', the '''pulsar comma''' or '''power of six repdigit comma''' is an unnoticeable comma of 0.223 cents, and it is a part of 101-limit [[just intonation]].

It is the difference between a stack of 5 [[6/1~~|hexataves~~]] and 7, 11, and 101 harmonics stacked, or when octave-reduced, between 7/4, 11/8, and 101/64 and the Pythagorean major seventh, [[243/128]].

The comma derives from the resemblance of a perfect power of 6, 7776, to a decimal repdigit number 7777. It is the difference between a stack of five [[6/1]]'s and 7, 11, and 101 harmonics stacked, or when octave-reduced, between 7/4, 11/8, and 101/64 and the Pythagorean major seventh, [[243/128]]. It is also the difference between 404/243 and 128/77.

The name origin is the following: power of six repdigit – ''psr'', which is the astronomical shortening for pulsars.

== Temperaments ==

[[~~135edo~~]] ~~supports a large amount~~ of temperaments ~~when it comes to this comma~~. ~~Other EDOs~~ which ~~temper it out~~ are 342, 207, 1012, 477, 1147, 971, 270, 836, 877.

Tempering it out leads to the [[stellar remnants]] collection of temperaments, the core of which is the 2.3.7.11.101 subgroup. Some of the edos which support pulsar temperaments are [[135edo|135]], {{EDOs|342, 207, 1012, 477, 1147, 971, 270, 836, 877}}. Note that 270edo is a multiple of 135edo.
