Dang that neutron star spins fast! 
10.000 per minute = 166,67x per second
diameter = 20 km
circumference = 62,83 km
speed of rotation at surface = 62,83 * 166,67 = 10.471 km/sec = 37.698.753 km/hour... OMFG!!!
speed of light = 299.792.458 m/s = 299.792,458 km/sec
So the neutron star spins at 1/28th of the speed of light at it's surface... wtp!!! xD
