SUMMARY:What sets the Maximum Spin Rate of Neutron Stars?\, Astronomy 
 Colloquium\, Ira Wasserman\, Cornell University\, Astronomy Department
DESCRIPTION:The fastest rotating neutron star has a spin frequency of 
 716 Hz\, well below the maximum allowed by stability in general. The a
 ccepted view is that fast spin results from accretion\, but the R mode
  instability of a rotating neutron star seems to prevent spin up to fr
 equencies as high as the fastest observed. What is going on?
