It would be a Quasar. Quasars are objects in space that are very far away but emit radio waves.

Do neutron stars have pulsars?

(Quotation from "The Young Oxford Book of Astronomy" Simon and Jacqueline Mitton)"In the intense Magnetic Field of a Neutron star, spiraling electrons generate radio waves that are beamed out like a searchlight. The star spins rapidly, swinging the radio beam across our line of sight, like a lighthouse. Some Pulsars emit light, X-rays and gamma rays as well as Radio waves. The slowest pulsars have pulses about four seconds apart but the most rapid repeat in a matter of milliseconds."Which basically tells you that neutron stars can be pulsars, and the pulsar is not an individual part of a neutron star.


Why do some stars turn into pulsars?

After going nova some stars turn into neutron star - being composed almost entirely of neutrons. These are very compact and massive and rotate extremely quickly. Typically the magnetic poles of the neutron star do not correspond to the rotational poles so the stars has a rotating magnetic field which is one of the conditions you need to produce radio waves. The radio waves produce by this situation is a beam of radio waves from the star's poles. As this beam sweeps out a cone there are times when it is pointed towards a potential observer and times when it is not. The pulses are the times when the beam flashes over the observer.


What do neutron stars emit?

If a neutron star's rotational period is fast enough to produce jets (A pulsar), said jets will emit radio waves, with faster periods emitting higher frequency radiation as well as the jets themselves emitting synchrotron radiation. Also, unless the neutron star were 0K, it will emit thermal radiation However, as far as a neutron star that isn't a pulsar, nobody knows if they emit anything but thermal radiation.


How do you define a neutron star?

A neutron star is a small sphere about the size of the earth consisting mainly of neutrons and emitting regular waves of radiation as it rotates which is one of the final stages after the death of a very massive star.

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.
