What else can I help you with?
Where would you expect to find a pulsar?
A pulsar is a rapidly-spinning neutron star, the remains of a supernova explosion.
What is left after a supernova explosion?
The universes most acurate time clock, a pulsar.
What do you call it when a star explodes as a supernova and collapses?
pulsar star and if it collapses even more a Black hole.
Are pulsars found in supernova remnants.?
Yes, pulsars are often found in supernova remnants. Pulsars are rapidly rotating neutron stars that emit beams of radiation, and they are formed when a massive star undergoes a supernova explosion. The remnants of the supernova provide the environment from which the pulsar originates.
What is the term for the tiny and very dense white dwarf star that is left behind after a supernova?
I think that's a pulsar.
Why don't all supernova remnants contain pulsars?
A "pulsar" is a rapidly-rotating neutron star, with a core of collapsed matter. The pulsar rotates because the original star rotated. If\\ WHEN a massive star becomes a supernova, the force of the explosion will crush the core of the star into either a neutron star or a black hole, if the original star was massive enough. The angular momentum (the "spin energy") of the original star doesn't disappear; like a figure skater pulling in her arms to spin faster, the neutron star will spin more rapidly because it has collapsed in size. If the neutron star's axis is pointed somewhere close to Earth, we detect the pulsating x-rays and we call it a "pulsar". So to answer the question, all supernova remnants contain either neutron stars or black holes, but they are pulsars only if they spin rapidly.
How do you describe a nebula such as the Crab Nebula?
The Crab Nebula is a supernova remnant and pulsar wind nebula.
What is the connection between pulsars and the Crab Nebula?
Pulsars were discovered in the Crab Nebula, a supernova remnant, in 1967. The Crab Pulsar is a neutron star at the center of the nebula that emits beams of radiation, producing regular pulses of light. The high-energy particles and magnetic fields in the nebula power the pulsar's emission.
Is supernova chemical or physical change?
Both.
How does a star change color and shape?
It is a supernova
Can supernova occur in the same star more than once?
Remember that Supernovas are great contributors to interstellar material that forms new stars. The star which explodes to supernova will leave either a pulsar or a black hole depending on its mass. Part of the supernova will scatter into space.
A spinning neutron star has been observed at the center of a?
neutron star has been observed at the center of a supernova remnant, known as the Crab Nebula. This neutron star, also called a pulsar, spins rapidly, emitting beams of radiation that are observed as pulses by astronomers.
