PSR J1748−2446ad is the fastest-spinning pulsar known, at 716 Hz (times per second), [2] or 42,960 revolutions per minute.This pulsar was discovered by Jason W. T. Hessels of McGill University on November 10, 2004, and confirmed on January 8, 2005.
Spinning roughly 641 times per second, it remains the second fastest-spinning millisecond pulsar of the approximately 200 that have been discovered. [7] Pulsar PSR J1748-2446ad, discovered in 2004, is the fastest-spinning pulsar known, as of 2023, spinning 716 times per second. [8] [9]
Fastest spinning galactic pulsar. [7] PSR J1311–3430: 2.15–2.7: 6,500–12,700: Substellar object: Spectroscopic and photometric observation. Black widow pulsar ...
The neutron star is tied with PSR J1748−2446ad as the fastest rotating pulsar known, both making 716 revolutions per second. NGC 6624 is a globular cluster in the constellation Sagittarius. It was discovered on 24 June 1784 by the astronomer William Herschel. It is given an apparent magnitude of 7.6 to 8.5. [4] Six pulsars are known in NGC ...
The pace could be caused by a flashing magnetic field rather than pulsar rotation alone. Pulsars and “long-period radio transients” can pulse anywhere between once every 10 seconds and once ...
X-ray pulsar-based navigation and timing (XNAV) or simply pulsar navigation is a navigation technique whereby the periodic X-ray signals emitted from pulsars are used to determine the location of a vehicle, such as a spacecraft in deep space. A vehicle using XNAV would compare received X-ray signals with a database of known pulsar frequencies ...
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 J0002+6216, also dubbed the Cannonball Pulsar, is a pulsar discovered by the Einstein@Home project in 2017. [2] It is one of the fastest moving pulsars known, and has moved 53 ly (5.0 × 10 14 km; 3.1 × 10 14 mi) away from the location of its formation supernova, where the remaining supernova nebula, CTB 1 (Abell 85 [3]), is.
