If it also emits pulses in each rotation, it is called a pulsar.

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 good sentence for neutron star?
Good sentence for neutron star - WOW ! see that;s a neutron star !!
What happens when a neutron star runs out of fuel?
Neutron stars do not have fuel. A neutron star is a remnant of a star that has already died.
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.
When a collapsed core becomes so dense only neutrons can exist there a what is formed?
A Neutron Star
Is a pulsar a neutron star?
Yes. A pulsar is a rapidly spinning neutron star.
How do neutron stars differ from other giant stars?
A neutron star is the "end of the line" for a giant star that exploded as a supernova. The material in a neutron star is packed so densely that a chunk of it the size of a cigarette package would weigh thousands of tons. It spins rapidly, at a steady rate (they are sometimes called "radio beacon stars").
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 are the most rapidly rotating neutron stars?
The fastest spinning neutron star that we've found so far is XTE J1739-285, which spins 1122 times every second. It was found by NASA's Rossi X-Ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) satellite. The most rapidly spinning pulsar, however, remains PSR J1748 2446ad, which spins 716 times a second. This pulsar was found by a team at Montreal's McGill University.
A pulsar requires that a neutron star 1rotate rapidly 2have a radius of at least 10Km 3have a stron magnetic field 4 rotate on an axis different from the axis of the magnetic field what is tru?
All of the above. See related questions.
Why aren't all neutron stars seen as plusars?
Because of their axis of rotation. It that axis is not pointing towards Earth, the pulses are not detected and they are just classified as a neutron star.
Why does theory predict that a neutron star should spin fast?
Observations show that neutron stars spin very rapidly.
Why don't all supernova remnants contain pulsars?
A "pulsar" is a rapidly-rotating neutron star, with a core of collapsed matter. The pulsar rotates because the original star rotated. If\\ WHEN a massive star becomes a supernova, the force of the explosion will crush the core of the star into either a neutron star or a black hole, if the original star was massive enough. The angular momentum (the "spin energy") of the original star doesn't disappear; like a figure skater pulling in her arms to spin faster, the neutron star will spin more rapidly because it has collapsed in size. If the neutron star's axis is pointed somewhere close to Earth, we detect the pulsating x-rays and we call it a "pulsar". So to answer the question, all supernova remnants contain either neutron stars or black holes, but they are pulsars only if they spin rapidly.
Why is a neutron star expected to spin rapidly?
All young neutron stars spin rapidly. You might be confused with a pulsar. See related questions.

What is a neutron star which emits that reaches the earth as radio wave and flashes of vesible light?
A neutron star that rotates rapidly and gives off pulse is call a pulsar.
A pulsar requires that a neutron star?
Has it's magnetic axis directed towards Earth
