Animation showing neutron star and accretion disk evolving into a millisecond pulsar, with magnetic fields. The formation of a pulsar: A star in a binary star system has collapsed to a neutron star. It begins to gain material from its companion star (known as "accretion"). The infalling matter causes it to speed up and begin emitting high energy radiation, eventually forming a pulsar rotating at up to 1000 times a second. This is a shortened version of the original video with the last 10 seconds removed. This is because the end of the video contains rapid flashing lights that may be triggering to photosensitive viewers.
