Question
What current theory explaining why some pulsars have extremely fast rotation rates ("milliseconds pulsars")?
Expert Solution
Check Mark
Step 1

 

Pulsars spin very rapidly due to the conservation of angular momentum from the original star which shrink to form neutron star (Pulsars are rotating neutron stars).
