A pulsar (short for pulsating radio star) is a highly magnetized, rotating neutron star that emits a beam of electromagnetic radiation.
The Fastest-Spinning Known Millisecond Pulsar in the Galactic Field Using observations across the entire electro-magnetic spectrum, astronomers have discovered a radio pulsar spinning 707 times every second, making it the fastest known spinning pulsar in the Galactic field and the second fastest known overall. The pulsar emits pulsed electromagnetic radiation at very low radio frequencies and very high gamma-rays, while the low-mass binary companion, heated by the energetic radiation from the pulsar, is detected at optical wavelengths.
