How are rotating neutron stars able to produce pulses of radiation as seen by an observer on Earth?
Neutron stars are able to produce pulses of radiation because they are rotating, and only a certain place on the neutron star releases the radiation(just like how light comes out of a flashlight). As the neutron star rotates, the point on the neutron star also moves along. When it points toward the Earth, we see the pulse.
What neutron star emit pulses of radiation called?
Pulsars and neutron stars emit a beam of electromagnetic radiation.
What is the name to neutron stars that give off pulses of radio waves?
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.
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.
What is a highly magnetize rotating neutron stars I met a beam electromagnetic radiation in the form of radio waves?
A pulsar

What neutron star emit pulses of radiation called?
Pulsars and neutron stars emit a beam of electromagnetic radiation.
How are neutron stars related to pulsars?
A pulsar is a rapidly spinning neutron star that releases regular pulses of electromagnetic radiation from its magnetic field
Flickering neutron stars formed in supernovas is what?
Neutron stars. A neutron star pulses, however if that pulse is detected on Earth it is called a pulsar, even though they are the same thing. See related questions.
What is the name to neutron stars that give off pulses of radio waves?

What type of star gives out regular pulses of radio waves?
Pulsars. They are very dense neutron stars that rotate quickly and very regularly, emitting radiation pulses towards the earth like a lighthouse.
What is the same as a neutron star?
A pulsar. Neutron stars that are spinning rapidly can generate pulses of X-ray radiation, and are called "pulsars". Interestingly enough, the first discoveries of pulsars were termed "LGM objects", for "little green men"; before the structure was understood, scientists thought that the PRECISELY timed pulses of X-rays might have been some sort of interstellar radio beacons, a galactic electronic navigational aid.
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.
Why aren't all neutron stars seen as plusars?
Because of their axis of rotation. It that axis is not pointing towards Earth, the pulses are not detected and they are just classified as a neutron star.
What are the smallest stars?
The smallest stars are called neutron stars.They typically have a diameter of only 12kmthe smallest star is the neutron star from the word "neutron"
A word meaning a place in space where radio waves are emitted?
Pulsar - Astronomy . one of several hundred known celestial objects, generally believed to be rapidly rotating neutron stars, that emit pulses of radiation, especially radio waves, with a high degree of regularity.
What is a sentence with pulsar in it?
Pulsars are highly magnetized, rotating neutron stars that emit a beam of electromagnetic radiation
