Thought this was interesting in part because this neutron star is spinning faster than the fastest spinning black hole known.

If a skater draws in her arms, she spins faster. A black hole is sort of the ultimate skater in this respect and ought to spin infinitely fast (much faster than any old lumbering neutron star), no? What am I doing wrong???

I suppose this interpretation is inferred. Not part of the active galactic nuclei paradigm, so it is a star.
