Discovery of Slowest-Spinning Neutron Star Challenges Astrophysics
Australian scientists from the University of Sydney and CSIRO have discovered a rare neutron star that appears to be spinning slower than any previously recorded. Using the ASKAP radio telescope on Wajarri Yamaji Country in Western Australia, the researchers identified the object emitting radio light at an unusually slow rate.
