The rotation of the neutron star gives it its energy. This rotation sets up a strong magnetic field which releases radiation in the process. Any radiation particle that is taken off the star or gathered from an outside source will speed up along the magnetic lines in two beams. The movement of these particles generate photons, which mostly take the form of radio waves detected on Earth.

No. A pulsar is a neutron star.
What do you call a star that appears to pulsate?
A star that pulsates is known as a variable star.
What is the composition of atmosphere of the Crab Pulsar?
The crab pulsar is a neutron star, it does not have an atmosphere as far as we know.
What is an extremely dense dying star called?
a pulsar
Why do pulsar stars spin?
A pulsar is nothing more than a neutron star but with a pole pointing towards Earth. See related questions.
What type of energy does a pulsar emit?
A Pulsar is highly magnetised, rotating neutron star that emits a beam of electromagnetic radiation.

No. A pulsar is a neutron star.
Is a pulsar a neutron star?
Yes. A pulsar is a rapidly spinning neutron star.
Where does the energy of a pulsar came from?
The energy of a pulsar comes from within, from the nucleus.

A star that pulsates is known as a variable star.
Are pulsar star found in the solar system?
No. There is only one star in our Solar System, the Sun and it is not a pulsar.

Pulsar
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".
