What is a pulsar in space?
Basically another name for a neutron star.
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".
Is a pulsar a white dwarf?
A pulsar is a type of neutron star, a collapsed core of an extremely massive star that exploded in a supernova. Whereas white dwarfs have incredibly high densities by earthly standards, neutron stars are even denser, cramming roughly 1.3 solar masses into a city-sized sphere.
What is an AXP?
An AXP, an anomalous X-ray pulsar, is another name for what is now widely believed to be magnetars - young, highly magnetized, neutron stars.
What is another name for a pulsating star?
Pulsars are highly magnetized, rotating neutron stars that emit a beam of electromagnetic radiation with it's magnetic pole pointing towards Earth.So a pulsar is a neutron star, it's just we can observe the beam from Earth.
What kinds of stars are pulsars a form of?
First [may be partial] is: A Cephid Variable Star. Quasars and other Gamma Ray sources [colliding Neutron Stars, and 'coalescing' Pairs of Black Holes for example] are also closely related.
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 is Brainiac 5's other name?
Pulsar Junior, when he thought Pulsar Stargrave was his father.
Which is better pulsar 135 or pulsar 150?
First of all, the main distinguishing factor between Pulsar 150 and Pulsar 135 is the cost. Pulsar 150, as the name says, 150cc has more power, pick up and speed when compared to Pulsar 135. But, pulsar 135 has also got the equivalent features of Pulsar 150. (Because of the latest technology) In a nutshell, Pulsar 135 is a lite version of Pulsar 150. And, my opinion, Pulsar 150 is better...
What is another name for a black hole neutron star or a white dwarf?
Try Collapsar' derived from "Collapsed Star"Also black holes are often referred to as singularities.neutron stars are also known as pulsars, magnetars, and hyperneutron stars depending on it's characteristics
What is the name of jimmy neutron's mom?
Judy neutron
What is a name of an atom that has a positive or negative neutron?
There is no such thing as a "positive neutron" or a "negative neutron". A neutron is always neutral.
