yes, some do.
Some neutron stars that emit pulses of radiation are known as pulsars. Pulsars rotate rapidly and emit beams of electromagnetic radiation from their magnetic poles, which are observed as regular pulses when they sweep across the Earth.

yes, some do.
Pulsars emit pulses of radio waves because their strong magnetic fields accelerate charged particles, causing them to emit these waves. The energy distribution of the particles in a pulsar's magnetosphere favors radio waves over visible light.
Pulsars and neutron stars emit a beam of electromagnetic radiation.
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.
Pulsars. They are very dense neutron stars that rotate quickly and very regularly, emitting radiation pulses towards the earth like a lighthouse.
Pulsars rotate like most stars. Pulsars also emit beams of energy which, if they cross our path are perceived as pulses of energy with a regular rate (ticks, beeps, etc). This is called the lighthouse effect. Picture a lighthouse -- the lighthouse itself is the pulsar, and the beam of light is like the pulsar's beam.
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.
The short length of pulsar pulses eliminate normal stars as possible pulsars because normal stars do not have strong enough magnetic fields.
A pulsar is a special kind of neutron star, which is the ultra-dense leftover core of a massive star. Pulsars emit beams of radiation that sweep out in circles as the pulsar spins. When those beams flash over Earth, we see them as regular, repeating pulses of radio emission.
Because the slower the pulsar rotates, the more X-rays are in its radiation beams, where-as the faster it rotates, X-rays cannot keep up with the radiation beams, therefore are more visible.
