Summary:
- Pulsars are rapidly spinning, dense neutron stars that emit powerful beams of radio waves from their magnetic poles.
- Astronomers have discovered a new type of pulsar that is spinning faster and emitting radio signals from farther out in its magnetic field than typical pulsars.
- These "extreme" pulsars provide insights into the extreme physics and environments found in the universe, including the strong gravity and intense magnetic fields near neutron stars.
