    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PSR_J1748%E2%88%922446ad

    The pulsar is located in a globular cluster of stars called Terzan 5, located approximately 18,000 light-years from Earth in the constellation Sagittarius. It is part of a binary system and undergoes regular eclipses with an eclipse magnitude of about 40%. Its orbit is highly circular, with a 26-hour period.

    The longest period neutron star pulsar, PSR J0901-4046, with a period of 75.9 seconds. The longest period pulsar, at 118.2 seconds, as well as one of the only known two white dwarf pulsars, AR Scorpii. [68] The first white dwarf pulsar AE Aquarii.

    PSR J0952–0607 is a massive millisecond pulsar in a binary system, located between 3,200–5,700 light-years (970–1,740 pc) from Earth in the constellation Sextans. [5] It holds the record for being the most massive neutron star known as of 2022, with a mass 2.35 ± 0.17 times that of the Sun—potentially close to the Tolman–Oppenheimer–Volkoff mass upper limit for neutron stars.

    Neutron stars can be classified as pulsars if they are magnetized, if they rotate, and if they emit beams of electromagnetic radiation out of their magnetic poles. [4] They may include soft gamma repeaters (SGR) and radio-quiet neutron stars , as well as pulsars such as radio pulsars , recycled pulsars , low mass X-ray pulsars, and accretion ...

    A pulsar–neutron star system, e.g, PSR B1913+16. A pulsar and a normal star; e.g, PSR J0045−7319, a system that is composed of a pulsar and main-sequence B star. Theoretically, a pulsar-black hole system is possible and would be of enormous scientific interest but no such system has yet been identified.

    Schematic view of a pulsar. The sphere in the middle represents the neutron star, the curves indicate the magnetic field lines, the protruding cones represent the emission beams and the green line represents the axis on which the star rotates. Supernovae sometimes leave behind dense spinning neutron stars called pulsars.
