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.
What remains after supernova?
A neutron star or a pulsar, or a black hole.
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.
What determines which stage occures after a supernova?
No one knows for sure, since there is not enough information to figure it out. After a supernova, the star will either turn into a black hole, a neutron star, or a pulsar. But, there is no scientific evidence that proves which one the star will turn into after 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.
What would happen if your sun was replaced by a pulsar?
We would all be killed in the supernova explosion that created the pulsar out of our Sun. The Earth itself would be vaporized. Any returning space travelers would be fried by the intense pulses of gamma radiation that give the "pulsar" or "pulsing gamma ray source" its name. However, this cannot happen - because our Sun isn't nearly massive enough to go supernova.
How do you describe a nebula such as the Crab Nebula?
The Crab Nebula is a supernova remnant and pulsar wind nebula.
How does a star change color and shape?
It is a supernova
Is supernova chemical or physical change?
Both.
Is a pulsar is a white dwarf?
No. Pulsars are a result of stars that have gone supernova, leaving behind a rapidly spinning neutron star. The neutron star produces the phenomenon known as a pulsar, which is a beam of electromagnetic energy that radiates from the star. The name "pulsar" is derived from the fact that we can only "see" the radiation when the beam is pointing towards the earth, which happens in intervals as the neutron star rotates, making it seem as though it is pulsating. This is also known as the "lighthouse effect".
