Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: If a pulsar - a dense star with strong gravitational attraction - is in a binary system, then it can pull in, or accrete, material from its companion star. This influx of material can eventually spin up the pulsar to the millisecond range, rotating hundreds of revolutions per second. |
