Hardly any - they are very far away. However, a supernova (which would come before a neutron star) could have catastrophic effects on Earth, if it were to happen in our neighborhood (up to a few thousand light years!).

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.


Why aren't all neutron stars seen as pulsars?

Not all neutron stars are seen as pulsars because pulsars emit beams of radiation that are only visible if they are pointed towards Earth. If a neutron star's beams are not aligned with our line of sight, it will not appear as a pulsar.


Why aren't all young neutron stars observed as pulsars?

Not all young neutron stars are observed as pulsars because pulsars emit beams of radiation that are only visible if they are pointed towards Earth. If the beams are not aligned with our line of sight, the neutron star will not be observed as a pulsar.


Are all pulsars neutron stars?

All young neutron stars in reality are "pulsars". However, for a neutron star to be termed a pulsar, it's magnetic axis has to point towards Earth. (So we can see the pulse, even though all young neutron stars have a pulse, they cannot be observed from Earth.)


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.


Are pulsars a kind of neutron star?

Pulsars are not only a kind of neutron star, they are neutron stars. See related question.


Some neutron stars that emit pulses of radiation called?

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.


Where do pulsars originate from?

The collapse of massive stars - the same as neutron stars.


Flickering neutron stars formed in supernovas?

pulsars


Why are you studying pulsars?

Because I am interested in neutron stars.


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 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
