Conversation article about new slow-spinning radio neutron star
A popular account of the discovery of the source ASKAP J1935+2148, which is likely to be a neutron star spinning slower than any other ever measured, has been described in an article in The Conversation by Manisha Caleba and Emil Lenc. ASKAP's wide field of view was critical to the discovery, as the observations were focussed on a different object, but the fact the transient emitted circularly polarised radio emission made it stand out.
