Why do you expect neutron stars to spin rapidly?
We expect neutron stars to spin rapidly because they conserve angular momentum.
Do neutron stars rotate rapidly?
The power from the supernova that birthed it gives the star an extremely quick rotation, causing it to spin several times in a second. Neutron stars can spin as fast as 43,000 times per minute, gradually slowing over time.
Why do you expect neutron stars to spin more rapidly than white dwarfs?
Why do you expect neutron stars to spin rapidly? Neutron stars are formed by the collapse of massive stars. Since all stars rotate, the principle of conservation of angular momentum predicts that as a massive star collapses it must rotate faster to conserve angular momentum.
What are rapidly spinning neutron stars called?
A pulsar (from pulsating radio source) is a highly magnetized rotating neutron star that emits beams of electromagnetic radiation out of its magnetic poles.
