This blog has been a very long time in the making. Last summer I visited the Niels Bohr Library and Archives of the American Institute of Physics. That visit turned into an interview (Allison Rein interviewed me). Very excited to share this. I hope it will help a few more people find their way to our catalogue as well! aip.org/library/ex-libris-univ #arhives #digipres #historyofscience #physics #nuclearphysics

AIP · Inside the International Atomic Energy Agency Archives UnitAn Interview with Archivist, Elizabeth Kata

The fastest spinning object ever measured is a millisecond pulsar, rotating at ~24% the speed of light.

A new study says that with SKA, we should find a handful more of these that could be spinning slightly faster. But there are unlikely any sub-millisecond pulsars.

There are numerous reasons / theories as to why there is an upper limit for pulsars spinning at higher frequencies, for example, the breakup velocity (they are very well held together!) and the spin-down induced by gravitational radiation.

This science tells us about matter under these extreme conditions!
