    GPM J1839-10 is a "slow" pulsar.  Too slow to be a neutron star, its below the "death line".  So what could it be?

      It probably went to the pub :

      There once was a pulsar so grand,

      Who frequented the pub, glass in hand.

      He drank 'til he swayed,

      Spinning all night and day,

      Now he spins with a slow, wobbly stand.

      Cheers, ChatGPT

          You're probably right there!

          However, I think ChatGPT got the limerick a little 'screwed up' :-)

          He drank 'til he swayed,

          So he couldn't get ????,

              Nah!  The line I was so obviously thinking about was

                      So he couldn't get sprayed

              You know, what might happen if he really, really got 'spun up' :-).

               

              Cheers,
