A pulsar is a neutron star that rotates and sends a beam of electromagnetic radiation. This is known because only a very dense source of such radiation would be capable of rotating that quickly without disintegrating.

∙ 13y agoAstronomers believe that pulsars are rapidly rotating neutron stars because neutron stars are the only objects in the known universe that rotate that fast, and because pulsars are created by some sort of rapid movement.

∙ 10y agoThe simple fact that pulsars have fast enough angular velocities to emit jets of electromagnetic radiation. The centrifugal force from speeds that fast would shred apart anything that isn't in the process of imploding from its own gravity. The existance of millisecond pulsars locked in binary orbits with an accretion disk around it also lends to the theory. The pulsar is sped up by the high angular velocity of the accretion disk with rotational periods in the millisecond range, whereis standard pulsars rotate once every half a second to two seconds. The reason that can be used as evidence is because GR predicts that such a system would cause the accretion disk to emit x-rays (due to the angular velocity of the pulsar) and we have detected such an event.

What evidence can you cite that earth's metallic core is liquid?
One piece of evidence is that seismic waves pass through the Earth's core, indicating that it is not a solid mass. Additionally, the Earth's magnetic field is believed to be generated by the movement of molten iron within the outer core. Lastly, experiments conducted in labs using high-pressure and high-temperature conditions have simulated the Earth's core and showed that it behaves as a liquid.
How do you cite the Kyoto protocol?
You can cite it as an article from the UNFCCC website."Kyoto Protocol." United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. Web. 26 Nov. 2009. .

What evidence can you cite that disks of gas and dust are common around young stars?
There is photographic evidence of other young stars where such disks exist.
Do you have to cite evidence in a body paragraph?
If you use any outside evidence in your paper at all, you must cite it. Failing to cite your sources quickly becomes plagiarism. It is especially important to cite in body paragraphs, as the majority of the evidence will be used to prove points in body paragraphs.
What evidence can you cite that the spaces between the stars are not empty?
The most obvious observation would be that our own planet and others are orbiting our own star. One could extend from this that there must be other satellites orbiting all stars, because of their gravitational pull.
Is the word cite a noun?
No, the word "cite" is a verb, which means to quote or refer to as evidence or justification for an argument or statement.
Cite a scientific evidence to prove that one's future cannot be dictated by the position of stars in zodiac?
People of the same zodiacal sign die at different times, have different lives, rather than the same. There's the proof.
