Is a pulsar a neutron star?
Yes. A pulsar is a rapidly spinning neutron star.
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.
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 are two names for rapidly spinning air that is very dangerous?
Two names for rapidly spinning air that is very dangerous are tornadoes and cyclones.
What is rapidly revolving item called?
A rapidly revolving item is called a "spinning" object. Examples include a spinning top, carousel, or rotating blade.
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.
What does a supernova form after it explodes?
That depends on the original mass of the star, and how fast the star was spinning before it exploded. A true "super-nova" will generally leave a black hole as a stellar remnant. Stars a little smaller than that will probably leave a neutron star at the center, and if it is spinning rapidly and radiating X-rays, we would call it a "pulsar".

What type of star is vela?
Vela is a variable type star known as a Gamma Cassiopeiae variable. These stars are typically hot, massive, and rapidly rotating objects that exhibit irregular changes in brightness due to their spinning and interacting binary nature.
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.
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.
