Your article describes neutron stars very well. Thank you for this. One question which I would like to know is about their rotational speed. What causes such high speeds that a neutron star have? What initiates this high-speed movement from an average (the speed when it was a star) to a high one (the speed when it turned to neutron star)? I mean what is the source of this acceleration? Could it be the loss of the mass?

Yes. mass is the factor as it loses mass but angular momentum has to be conserved. For that reason it get the higher rotational speed.
Angular momentum = moment of inertia (mass x radius squared) x angular velocity
I hope it will answe your question.
Yes this is so logical. Thank you. Are you going to write a second part related to this subject?
Yes in 3 to 4 days :)
Can not wait
