The pulsar signal comes from a 53 million-year-old neutron star rotating once every 76 s? Angular momentum is conserved as the star is compressed, which means that the rotational velocity of the star increases – much like how a twirling figure skater speeds up when she pulls her arms in. The star has been designated PSR J0901-4046?and
