J. L. Zdunik, P. Haensel, M. Bejger, E. Gourgoulhon
TL;DR
This paper investigates the effects of extremely fast rotation on neutron stars, particularly focusing on how such rapid spin influences observable properties like mass and pulsar period, based on recent observations of a neutron star rotating at 1122 Hz.
Contribution
It analyzes the implications of very fast rotation on neutron star characteristics, highlighting the significance of rotational effects at high frequencies.
Findings
Rotation at 1122 Hz significantly affects neutron star properties.
Fast rotation influences observable quantities such as mass and pulsar period.
The study provides insights into the structure of rapidly rotating neutron stars.
Abstract
Recent observations of XTE J1739-285 suggest that it contains a neutron star rotating at 1122 Hz. Such rotational frequency would be the first for which the effects of rotation are significant. We study the consequences of very fast rotating neutron stars for the potentially observable quantities as stellar mass and pulsar period.
