Ka. Postnov et Me. Prokhorov, POSSIBLE SPINUP OF YOUNG NEUTRON-STARS DURING ASYMMETRIC SUPERNOVA EXPLOSIONS, Astronomy letters, 24(5), 1998, pp. 568-571
We show that the rotation period of a young neutron star during asymme
tric collapse of a supernova can decrease to values at which the initi
ally slowly rotating neutron stars become radio pulsars.
