The neutron star, with its greater density, sucked in material from the collapsing star. This caused the neutron star to start spinning at 100 times a second and emitting radio signals, turning into a pulsar

Hmmm... I'll have to think about that. Pulsars from supernovae explosions are one thing, but from an accreting neutron star? While this planet has two suns, they’re both weird degenerate matter. (Degenerate implying quantum state.) Got to be a very strange place.

Thanks.
