EliteDangerousAlmanac / Astronomy / NeutronStarClass

Defined in: dotnet/src/EliteDangerousAlmanac/Astronomy/StarPhysics.cs:51

What kind of neutron star one scan describes.

The class follows the rotation period, and the heavier ones are set apart by mass. An ultra-long-period star is told from a magnetar by its absolute magnitude.

The scheme is the Canonn Research Group's own, and the bands are cut at 10 ms, 5 s, 30 s and one hour of rotation period. The anomalous-mass classes mark a star heavier than 2.1 solar masses. The two ultra-long-period classes are split by absolute magnitude rather than by mass: brighter than magnitude 10 reads as a magnetar.

MillisecondPulsar

Defined in: dotnet/src/EliteDangerousAlmanac/Astronomy/StarPhysics.cs:54

A pulsar turning faster than a hundred times a second.

HyperMassiveMillisecondPulsar

Defined in: dotnet/src/EliteDangerousAlmanac/Astronomy/StarPhysics.cs:57

A millisecond pulsar heavier than any such star should be.

StandardPulsar

Defined in: dotnet/src/EliteDangerousAlmanac/Astronomy/StarPhysics.cs:60

A pulsar turning within five seconds.

AnomalousMassPulsar

Defined in: dotnet/src/EliteDangerousAlmanac/Astronomy/StarPhysics.cs:63

A standard pulsar heavier than any such star should be.

SlowPeriodPulsar

Defined in: dotnet/src/EliteDangerousAlmanac/Astronomy/StarPhysics.cs:66

A pulsar turning within thirty seconds.

AnomalousMassSlowPeriodPulsar

Defined in: dotnet/src/EliteDangerousAlmanac/Astronomy/StarPhysics.cs:69

A slow-period pulsar heavier than any such star should be.

UltraLongPeriodMagnetar

Defined in: dotnet/src/EliteDangerousAlmanac/Astronomy/StarPhysics.cs:72

A star turning within the hour, and bright enough to be a magnetar.

UltraLongPeriodPulsar

Defined in: dotnet/src/EliteDangerousAlmanac/Astronomy/StarPhysics.cs:75

A star turning within the hour.

AnomalousSlowRotator

Defined in: dotnet/src/EliteDangerousAlmanac/Astronomy/StarPhysics.cs:78

A star that takes more than an hour to turn once.
