Would love to know your interpretations of such things:-)
Essentially, like all "pulsar" neutron stars, what they are observing is a periodic electromagnetic tuned circuit of extremely high current, charging and discharging as the double layers of a Birkland Current reconnect. The rate is dependent on the amount of current that is flowing. These layers twist and rotate building extreme magnetic fields. . .
"Electromagnetic fields are induced by electric currents, so there must be a flow of electric charge generating the intense fields in a pulsar. It is indisputable that feeder currents must be part of a circuit, since persistent electric charge must travel through a completed electric circuit. Dense matter and extreme rotation are unnecessary, because electricity traveling through circuits provides an explanation consistent with electromagnetic theory."Pulsar oscillations are caused by resonant effects in those electric circuits. It is the sudden release of stored electrical energy in a “double layer” that is responsible for their energetic emissions. The outbursts begin with a sudden peak of energy, and then gradually decline, like a stroke of lightning. Depending on how much electricity is flowing through the circuit, a star’s electromagnetic field will be greater where there is more current. It seems more likely that pulsars are immense concentrations of electricity focused by some kind of dense plasma focus effect."
Worst case scenarios can result in super novae. . . and strangely, as proof of the current flow hypothesis, a recent super nova, flared up brighter than its home galaxy, subsided, then flared AGAIN, just as brightly, weeks later, suggesting the possibility of cyclic novae—something standard orthodox gravity driven cosmology cannot explain, because under that theory, the causation fuel is expended, but the Plasma/Electric model does explain because the electric current feed flow continues uninterrupted.
