Neutron stars twinkle very fast because the rotation of the pulsar is modulated by the spinning of the highly dense objects or pulsars. They have been recorded at 1K/pulses/sec….

Pulsars are shrinking stars right? I think its coz when a rotating object shrinks, its rate of rotation increases. Just like a ballet dancer brings her hands together to spin faster. The stars were already rotating. So as it shrinked, the rate of rotation increased.

Don you think the pulsars will make good ballet dancers?
