The flow of material from the low-mass star slows, the neutron star — now spinning madly, up to 254 times a second — throws much of the material in the disk out of the system entirely.

One of the fastest-spinning stars ever seen has been found by the INTEGRAL spacecraft. But researchers say the star’s speed could be limited by gravitational wave radiation – theoretical ...

The fastest-spinning white dwarf ever discovered is a shrinking cosmic vampire feasting on a stellar companion. A feeding process is pushing the dead star toward an imminent supernova explosion.

A neutron star has been found spinning nearly twice as fast as any other star, suggesting exotic 'soft' states of matter lie inside the dense stars. Close. Advertisement. Skip to content.

July 27 -- Squeeze a beach ball and it will flatten. Now scientists have shown that a star will bulge in the middle in a similar way if spinning at very high velocity. For a long time scientists ...

The fastest-spinning white dwarf ever discovered is a shrinking cosmic vampire feasting on a stellar companion. A feeding process is pushing the dead star toward an imminent supernova explosion.

The fastest-spinning white dwarf ever discovered is shrinking despite feasting on a stellar companion. A feeding process is pushing the dead star toward an imminent supernova explosion.
