10 Facts about pulsars!
It is a star no bigger than a large city, made of neutron matter that emits strong radio waves at regular intervals.
There are more than 500 pulsars known in the Galaxy.
The intense, rapidly moving field generates huge electric fields at the surface of the pulsar which rips off electron and proton which then flies out along the magnetic field lines emitting a beam of radiation along the magnetic field axis.
The Pulsar Dynamo is typically around 10^29 X more powerful than all the power-plants on Earth combined.
Since it has the magnetic field and it’s spin axes are misaligned, this results in a lighthouse-like effect and the beam sweeps past the Earth once per rotation period.
Most pulsars are traveling at high speeds through the galaxy, and many are exceeding escape velocity. This is thought to be due to tiny asymmetries in the SN(supernova) explosion and recoil.
There is a special class of pulsar discovered in 1982 with very short periods called the milli second pulsars.

There are sometimes glitches in their spin-down which increases the rotation rate
Pulsars spin more slowly with age
There are some strange cases of single milli-second pulsars which are explained by the pulsar's intense radiation field ablating the companion away.
