    Until the discovery of PSR J1748-2446ad in 2006, which spins 716 times per second, PSR B1937+21 was the fastest spinning neutron star known. [29] At the time of its discovery, PSR B1937+21 extended the range of periods observed in pulsars by a factor of 20, it also extended the range of magnetic fields observed by a factor of 100, [ 30 ] with a ...

    The fastest-spinning neutron star known is PSR J1748-2446ad, rotating at a rate of 716 times per second [17] [18] or 43,000 revolutions per minute, giving a linear (tangential) speed at the surface on the order of 0.24c (i.e., nearly a quarter the speed of light).

  9. Pulsar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulsar

    The more massive star explodes first, leaving behind a neutron star. If the explosion does not kick the second star away, the binary system survives. The neutron star can now be visible as a radio pulsar, and it slowly loses energy and spins down. Later, the second star can swell up, allowing the neutron star to suck up its matter.
