Source sentences:
text: Current theories of neutron star structure and evolution predict that pulsars would break apart if they spun at a rate of c. 1500 rotations per second or more, and that at a rate of above about 1000 rotations per second they would lose energy by gravitational radiation faster than the accretion process would speed them up.
text: Pulsars rotate at very stable speeds, but slow down as they emit radiation and lose their energy.
text: As a result, a pulsar that slows down also loses power, and gradually stops emitting radiation (or at least, it stops emitting enough radiation for telescopes to detect), Harding said.
text: For example, as pulsars gradually lose energy, they approach what is called the pulsar "death valley," a theoretical area in pulsar pulsar period - period derivative space, where the pulsar emission mechanism is thought to fail but may become sporadic as pulsars approach this region.
text: It is generally accepted that pulsars lose energy through magnetic dipole radiation and that the rotation rate will decrease over time.
text: Pulsars do slow down very slowly, and over time they lose their energy, so eventually they won't be detectable.
