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
Canadian Neutron Beam Centre suite of 6 beamlines at the CNBC. The neutron beam laboratory known as Canadian Neutron Beam Centre was transferred from AECL to the National Research Council in 1997. The NRU reactor, closed in March 2018, was a multi-purpose research reactor that supported science and industry in three areas simultaneously: 1. It was Canada's only major neutron source, supplying neutrons for the CNBC. 2. It was Canada's only major materials testing reactor, supporting nuclear energy research and development. 3. It was one of the two largest global producers of medical radioisotopes. Canadian Neutron Beam Centre The NRC Canadian Neutron Beam Centre
