Neutron stars, are some of the most extreme phenomenon in the universe. It's doubly so for a subset known as pulsars. Some are spinning so fast, and are so massive, that astronomers aren't entirely sure how they got to be that way. One hypothesis is that they suck the life out of a stellar companion, earning them the name black widow pulsars.
