Neutron Stars Rotation as a Pulsar Radio Sources

Newly discovered rotating radio sources can be explained by the stability of their frequency through the rotation of a neutron star. Due to the presence of strong magnetic fields and high rotation speeds, relative velocities will form in any plasma within the surrounding magnetism, leading to radiation in a pulsar-like pattern.
