What else can I help you with?
Is a pulsar a neutron star?
Yes. A pulsar is a rapidly spinning neutron star.
Is a pulsar star a white dwarf?
No. A pulsar is a neutron star.
What happens to a neutron star that gives it the name pulsar?
the name pulsar is given to a neutron star that rotates
What type of energy does a pulsar emit?
A Pulsar is highly magnetised, rotating neutron star that emits a beam of electromagnetic radiation.
Why is a Neutron star called a Pulsar?
Because a pulsar is a neutron star but with it's emmision lines visible from Earth. See related questions.
Is the main difference between a pulsar and a binary system that a pulsar is made up of two neutron stars and that a binary system is made of of two normal stars?
Not exactly, while a pulsar is a specific type of neutron star (that being a "spinning neutron star") and a binary system is a pair of stars orbiting each other, a pulsar does not need to be part of a binary system. It would be possible, however to have a binary system with one of the pair being a pulsar and the other a neutron star (assumed to be the non-spinning or "normal neutron star" variety).
What type of star acts like a lighthouse that periodically emits radio waves into space?
A pulsar is a type of neutron star that emits beams of radiation, including radio waves, from its magnetic poles. As the star rotates, these beams appear to pulse on and off, giving it the appearance of a lighthouse.
What happens star's furnace stops?
Then, depending on the remaining mass of the star, it will collapse into a white dwarf, a neutron star (aka pulsar), or a black hole.Then, depending on the remaining mass of the star, it will collapse into a white dwarf, a neutron star (aka pulsar), or a black hole.Then, depending on the remaining mass of the star, it will collapse into a white dwarf, a neutron star (aka pulsar), or a black hole.Then, depending on the remaining mass of the star, it will collapse into a white dwarf, a neutron star (aka pulsar), or a black hole.
Is a plusar a white dwarf?
No. A pulsar is a neutron star.
Where would a pulsar and a neutron star be found in stellar evolution?
After a death of a Giant Star, a corpse of a star will be the remaining of it, right in the center of the aftermath, you will find one of the strangest objects in the Universe, the Pulsar and the Neutron Star.
Where would a pulsar be found?
Anywhere that a normal star has collapsed into a neutron star. See, a pulsar is essentially a neutron star that magnetically rotates and emits long arm-like streams of radiation. So it is possible for a pulsar to found almost anywhere in space.
Which neutron star emits radiation toward the earth?
A pulsar.
