A model for the pulsed X-ray source Cen XR-3 has been constructed, based on studies of wobbling, young, evolving neutron stars which are generating heat in their crusts by the conversion of rotational energy through precession-induced cyclic strain. The observational features can be understood if the observed period is interpreted as the free nutation period. We predict the actual rotational period to be ~8 ms and the slow-down rate ~8×10-13 s s1.
