Stellar rotation can have a very rapid rate of rotation; on the order of a hundred rotations per second. Pulsars are rotating neutron stars that have a magnetic field. A narrow beam of electromagnetic radiation is emitted from the poles of rotating pulsars. If the beam sweeps past the direction of the Solar System then the pulsar will produce a periodic pulse that can be detected from the Earth. The energy radiated by the magnetic field gradually slows down the rotation rate, so that older pulsars can require as long as several seconds between each pulse. A black hole is an object
POlarization Emission of Millimeter Activity at the Sun of observing at 45 and 90 GHz comes from the necessity to determine the "upturn" frequency in the so-called "THz events": if the main radiation mechanism is synchrotron radiation from accelerated electrons emitting at chromospheric or coronal heights, it is expected a spectrum with a long and descending logarithmic tail towards millimeter wavelengths. In some cases this classical ("textbook") shape is broken and an "upturn" or "spectral reversion" is observed. Since the reversion or "upturn" frequency has been estimated around 50 to 100 GHz for the observed cases, the importance of POEMAS is justified. POlarization Emission of Millimeter Activity at
