Material accumulating on the pulsar surface can sometimes ignite, causing thermonuclear flashes that emit bursts of X-ray light. These thermonuclear flames spread across the surface of the pulsar in a few seconds. The team established that "burst oscillations", a kind of flickering, during these X-ray bursts provide a direct measure of the pulsar's spin rate.
