How a neutron star's spin classes it, in the scheme the Canonn tooling uses.

The bands are cut at 10 ms, 5 s, 30 s and 1 hour of rotation period. anomalous-mass- marks a star above TOV_LIMIT_SOLAR_MASSES, and the two ultra-long-period bands are split by absolute magnitude rather than mass: brighter than 10 reads as a magnetar.
