Abstract: Neutron stars are the remnants of supernova explosions, packing a mass as great as that of the Sun into a radius of only about 10 km. Some of them rotate at up to about 1,000 revolutions per second. These ‘millisecond pulsars’ are believed to be old neutron stars that have been spun up by material consumed from a companion star. Now one has been caught in this process of transition.
