But if true, that only raises more questions. With an interval of 54 minutes, the object, called ASKAP J1935+2148, would be the slowest spinning neutron star ever documented by an astounding margin.
Neutron stars also have ludicrously powerful magnetic fields, which send out streams of particles into space along their poles. In the case of pulsars, their rotation causes these particle streams to rotate, too, and to astronomers this looks like a repeating signal. Over a period of eight months, the researchers noticed that the active emissions states were evolving, suggesting that there may be physical changes in the area that's producing the emissions.
