Pulsar, Star Pulsar, Universe

A pulsar is a rapidly rotating neutron star that emits a radio beam the way a lighthouse emits a light beam. We receive a radio pulse for each rotation of the star. The period T of rotation is found by measuring the time between pulses. The pulsar in the Crab nebula has a period of rotation of T=0.033 s that is increasing at the rate of 1.26 ×10^-5 s / y (a) What is the pulsar's angular acceleration α? (b) If αis constant, how many years from now will the pulsar stop rotating? (c) The pulsar ori
