Is a pulsar a neutron star?
Yes. A pulsar is a rapidly spinning neutron star.
A spinning neutron star has been observed at the center of a?
neutron star has been observed at the center of a supernova remnant, known as the Crab Nebula. This neutron star, also called a pulsar, spins rapidly, emitting beams of radiation that are observed as pulses by astronomers.
Pulsars cannot be spinning white dwarfs because?
because of the great mass of the star, the gravity of it is very high. So after its death, it actually contracts so tightly that even protons and electrons combine to form neutron and thus results to a star called neutron star. If its previous mass is considerably low, then it could have become a white dwarf
Why do neutron stars rotate so much more rapidly than ordinary stars?
Neutron stars rotate rapidly due to their conservation of angular momentum. When a massive star collapses into a neutron star, its core spins faster as it contracts. Since angular momentum is conserved, the neutron star continues to rotate rapidly as a remnant of the collapsed star.
A rapidly rotating neutron star with an offset magnetic field that appears to blink to a distant observer is called a?
A pulsar
Is a pulsar a neutron star?
Yes. A pulsar is a rapidly spinning neutron star.
What is spinning neutron star called?
It is still called a neutron star. Depending on how we observe it, it may also be called a pulsar.
What is A rapidly spinning neutron is called?
A young neutron star. Really - that is what a neutron star is. If the neutron star's magnetic field is pointed towards Earth, then it is referred to as a pulsar - because of it's rapid pulsations [See related question] but it is still a neutron star.
A spinning neutron star has been observed at the center of a?
neutron star has been observed at the center of a supernova remnant, known as the Crab Nebula. This neutron star, also called a pulsar, spins rapidly, emitting beams of radiation that are observed as pulses by astronomers.
Where would you expect to find a pulsar?
A pulsar is a rapidly-spinning neutron star, the remains of a supernova explosion.
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
What is the core of a star called if it is crushed in to a small but very dense object?
"Small but very dense" sounds like the description of a neutron star or "collapsed matter star". Theoretically, a black hole (the only thing more dense) has no physical size at all. So, "neutron star". If the neutron star is spinning rapidly, they are called "pulsars" for the radio-wave pulses that they generate.
How are pulsars formed?
Pulsars are rapidly rotating neutron stars that emit beams of electromagnetic energy. Neutron stars form when the core of a massive star collapses and goes supernova leaving behind a neutron star which will begin rotating and releasing energy.
What is a dense rapidly spinning star?
Studying star and star types can be fun, but it can be challenging to remember each type. A Neuron star is a dense, rapidly spinning star.
Pulsars cannot be spinning white dwarfs because?
because of the great mass of the star, the gravity of it is very high. So after its death, it actually contracts so tightly that even protons and electrons combine to form neutron and thus results to a star called neutron star. If its previous mass is considerably low, then it could have become a white dwarf
What is a neutron star that spins rapidly on it axis?
If it also emits pulses in each rotation, it is called a pulsar.
Why do neutron stars rotate so much more rapidly than ordinary stars?
Neutron stars rotate rapidly due to their conservation of angular momentum. When a massive star collapses into a neutron star, its core spins faster as it contracts. Since angular momentum is conserved, the neutron star continues to rotate rapidly as a remnant of the collapsed star.
