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. [6] 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.
PSR J1719−1438 b is an extrasolar planet that was discovered on August 25, 2011, in orbit around PSR J1719−1438, a millisecond pulsar. The pulsar planet is most likely composed largely of crystalline carbon but with a density far greater than diamond. [1] [2] PSR J1719-1438 b orbits so closely to its host star that its orbit would fit ...
PSR J1719-1438 is a 5.7 millisecond pulsar found to have a companion with a mass similar to Jupiter but a density of 23 g/cm 3, suggesting that the companion is an ultralow mass carbon white dwarf, likely the core of an ancient star. [40]

The pulsar was discovered in 2024 using the MeerKAT radio telescope. [63] M62H has a rotational period of 3.70 milliseconds, meaning it completes 270 rotations per second (270 Hz). [65] Its planetary companion has a minimum mass of 2.5 M J and a median mass of 2.83 M J, assuming a mass of 1.4 M ☉ for the pulsar. Its minimum density is of 11 g ...
The pulsar is estimated to have a mass of 1.4 M ☉, which is typical for most neutron stars and pulsars. The radius is estimated to be around 10 kilometres or 6.2 miles (~1.5 × 10 −5 R ☉), also common for pulsars and neutron stars. The pulsar is extremely hot, with a surface temperature of up to around 28,856 K (28,583 °C; 51,481 °F).
In contrast, the density of gases is strongly affected by pressure. The density of an ideal gas is =, where M is the molar mass, P is the pressure, R is the universal gas constant, and T is the absolute temperature. This means that the density of an ideal gas can be doubled by doubling the pressure, or by halving the absolute temperature.
The Crab pulsar 33-millisecond pulse period was too short to be consistent with other proposed models for pulsar emission. Moreover, the Crab pulsar is so named because it is located at the center of the Crab Nebula, consistent with the 1933 prediction of Baade and Zwicky. [23]
