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.

You maybe thinking of a Pulsar, but they are basically the same.

Is a pulsar a neutron star?
Yes. A pulsar is a rapidly spinning neutron star.
A rapidly rotating neutron star with an offset magnetic field that appears to blink to a distant observer is called a?
A pulsar
A spinning neutron star has been observed at the center of a?
supernova remnant
Why does theory predict that a neutron star should spin fast?
Observations show that neutron stars spin very rapidly.
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.
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.
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.
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.
What is a neutron star that spins rapidly on it axis?
If it also emits pulses in each rotation, it is called a pulsar.
A spinning neutron star is also called what?
A radio pulsar or a rotation-powered pulsar. A link is provided for more information.
A rapidly rotating neutron star with an offset magnetic field that appears to blink to a distant observer is called a?
A pulsar
A spinning neutron star has been observed at the center of a?
supernova remnant
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.
