A millisecond pulsar (MSP) is a pulsar with a rotational period less than about 10 milliseconds. Millisecond pulsars have been detected in radio, X-ray, and gamma ray portions of the …

Jul 3, 2007 · A millisecond pulsar is one with a rotational period between 1 and 10 milliseconds, or from 60,000 to 6,000 revolutions per minute. Pulsars form in supernova explosions, but even newborn …

Nov 4, 2025 · Millisecond Pulsar An old pulsar “recycled” and spun-up to incredible speeds by accreting matter from a binary companion. They are extremely stable clocks and are often found in globular …

4 days ago · The study resulted in the discovery of six new millisecond pulsars in these clusters, which are isolated and faint. The finding was detailed in a paper published April 9 on the arXiv pre-print server.

3 days ago · Abstract Context. Transitional millisecond pulsars are old, rapidly rotating neutron stars spun up by accretion from a low-mass companion star. These objects can switch between two …

Apr 8, 2026 · Here we report the discovery of the pulsar PSR J0435+3233, which exhibits an exceptionally high spin-down rate of 4.8775101 (2) × 10 −17 s s −1 —two orders of magnitude higher …

A millisecond pulsar is a type of radio or X-ray pulsar that has a rotation period measured in a small number of milliseconds, usually below 30 ms. The first millisecond pulsar was the celebrated 1.55 ms …

For the purposes of this listing, a millisecond pulsar is defined as having a spin period less than 30 ms. Of course, other definitions exist and you can prune the list as you see fit.

2 days ago · The millisecond pulsars FAST telescope discovery is not just another astronomy update. It reveals a deeper truth. Even well-studied regions of our galaxy still hide unseen objects. Using the …

Millisecond pulsars (MSP) are an important subclass of rotation powered pulsars (RPP), traditionally defined as those with Ps < 20–30 ms and Bs ≲ 10 10 G.
