second for the fastest to just over three seconds for
the slowest.
Today it is considered a fact that pulsars (as these
objects came to be called) are the final remains of
ancient supernovae explosions, rapidly rotating
neutron stars. These neutron stars (see section on
Birth of Stars) have intense magnetic fields and
radiation streaming out of the north and south
magnetic poles and can account for the properties of
pulsars, if high-speed rotation is assumed. One of the
fastest pulsars (the Crab Nebula) his been observed
flashing pulses of visible light on and off 30 times
each second. The fastest and therefore youngest of
the pulsars have been found at the sites of supernova
detonations and it is known that these objects have
high velocities. Astronomers therefore assume that
the longer period (older) pulsars may have moved far
from their original sites at the heart of a supernova.
Pulsars are galactic objects of powerful intensity and
extreme regularity. The column in the listing, "Period,"
will give you an idea of the degree of regularity for
these objects.
