by A team of Chinese astronomers has conducted a study aimed at inspecting formation scenarios for the millisecond pulsar PSR J1946+3417.
They found that the pulsar was most likely formed as a result of a phase transition.
Pulsars are highly magnetized, rotating neutron stars emitting a beam of electromagnetic radiation.
The most rapidly rotating pulsars, with rotation periods below 30 milliseconds, are known as millisecond pulsars (MSPs).
