The first part of your question — how stellar objects reach millisecond spin periods — involves two concepts. First, the object needs to be small, since no material can move faster than the speed of ...

To demonstrate the system, the researchers showed that it could reconstruct real-time high-quality still images of a model jet engine rotating at about ∼2170 rpm (top images) and a CPU cooling fan ...

Astronomers have discovered a highly unusual and rare object—a fast-spinning Long Period Radio Transient (LPT) dubbed CHIME J1634+44—that challenges current understanding of stellar remnants and ...
