And if so, what is the limit?
Some pulsars spin very fast. more than 700 times per second, or even faster?
So the centrifugal force would be very strong at the equator, threatening to rip them apart.
Is there a limit on how fast a pulsar can spin before the centrifugal force would destroy them?
What holds pulsars together? Their gravity or their density, or both?
Sorry if my questions are dumb.
TIA
