Pulsating variable stars are A-Binary stars B-Pulsars C-Novas D-Cephied Variables?
Cepheid Variables.
Scientists now believe that atoms are made up of smaller elementary particles call 'pulsars' or 'quarks'?
Pulsars --------------------------------------------Correction Pulsars are neutron stars that emit pulsating EM radiation at predictable frequencies. Obviously neutrons stars (something massive stars can collapse into when they die) are not the elementary particles of the universe. Therefore, 'quarks'.
Why did astronomers conclude that pulsars could not be pulsating stars?
Pulsars have extremely short periods; in some cases seconds, in some cases just a few milliseconds. There is no way a typical star, with its great size (for example, a diameter of 1.4 million kilometers in the case of our Sun) can pulsate that quickly.
Are all neutron stars pulsars?
No, not all neutron stars are pulsars. Pulsars are a type of neutron star that emits beams of radiation, which can be detected as pulses of light. Some neutron stars do not emit these beams and are not classified as pulsars.
What sends energy out into space in pulses?
Pulsars are rapidly rotating neutron stars that emit beams of radiation along their magnetic poles. As these beams sweep across Earth, they create a pulsating signal that can be detected by telescopes. This emission of energy in pulses is what gives pulsars their name.
Are rotating stars that emit directional beams of radio waves?
Yes, rotating stars can emit directional beams of radio waves. This phenomenon is known as pulsars, which are rapidly rotating neutron stars that emit beams of electromagnetic radiation, including radio waves, along their magnetic axes. The regular pulsing of these beams as they sweep across our line of sight gives the appearance of a pulsating or blinking star.
Where are pulsars located in space?
Pulsars are located every where around the universe keep in mind pulsars are neutron stars so that means they were formed by large stars that have aged and died out
What neutron star emit pulses of radiation called?
Pulsars and neutron stars emit a beam of electromagnetic radiation.
What do you mean when you say every pulsar is a neutron star but not every neutron star is a pulsar?
All "pulsars" are neutron stars - it's just "we" term pulsars as neutron stars who's orientation towards us shows the beam of electromagnetic radiation. Other neutron stars who's orientation, do not point towards us are not called pulsars, although they exhibit the same characteristics.
Where do pulsars originate from?
The collapse of massive stars - the same as neutron stars.
Are all neutron stars also pulsars?
No, not all neutron stars are pulsars. Pulsars are neutron stars that emit beams of radiation that are detectable from Earth as rapid pulses of light. While many neutron stars are pulsars, not all neutron stars exhibit this pulsing behavior.
What is another name for a pulsating star?
Pulsars are highly magnetized, rotating neutron stars that emit a beam of electromagnetic radiation with it's magnetic pole pointing towards Earth.So a pulsar is a neutron star, it's just we can observe the beam from Earth.
