A pulsar is a rapidly rotating neutron star that emits radio pulses, one such pulse for each rotation of the star. The period T of rotation is the time for one rotation. It is found by measuring the time between pulses. At present, the pulsar in the central region of the Crab nebula has a period of rotation of T = 0.033 s, and this is observed to be increasing at the rate of 1.26 x 10-5 s/y.
