Type Alias: NeutronStarClass

NeutronStarClass = "millisecond-pulsar" | "hyper-massive-millisecond-pulsar" | "standard-pulsar" | "anomalous-mass-pulsar" | "slow-period-pulsar" | "anomalous-mass-slow-period-pulsar" | "ultra-long-period-magnetar" | "ultra-long-period-pulsar" | "anomalous-slow-rotator"

Defined in: src/astro/star-physics.ts:107

How a neutron star's spin classes it, in the scheme the Canonn tooling uses.

Remarks

The bands are cut at 10 ms, 5 s, 30 s and 1 hour of rotation period. anomalous-mass- marks a star above TOV_LIMIT_SOLAR_MASSES, and the two ultra-long-period bands are split by absolute magnitude rather than mass: brighter than 10 reads as a magnetar.
