Pulsars are rapidly rotating neutron stars that blast out pulses of radiation at regular intervals ranging from seconds to milliseconds. Pulsars have strong magnetic fields that funnel particles along their magnetic poles accelerating them to relativistic speeds, which produces two powerful beams of light, one from each pole. According to the University of California, because the poles of the magnetic field aren't aligned with the axis of spin of the pulsar, the beams of particles and the light

Milisecond Pulsars, the ultímate dead star. Neutron stars can spin incredibly fast, with some of them rotating hundreds of times per second. The fastest known rotating neutron star, known as PSR J1748-2446ad, has a rotational speed of about 716 times per second, which is close to the theoretical limit for how fast a neutron star can rotate before it begins to break apart due to centrifugal forces. This extreme rotation causes the neutron star to emit beams of radiation that can be detected on Ea
