It is a neutron star. A pulsar is nothing more than a neutron star whose "beams" are detectable from Earth. Apart from that they are the same thing.

The connection between pulsars and neutron stars is explained by what model?

The connection between pulsars and neutron stars is explained by the generally accepted model that pulsars are rapidly rotating neutron stars that emit beams of radiation from their magnetic poles, causing periodic signals to be observed when the beams cross our line of sight. This emission of radiation is what gives rise to the pulsed nature of pulsar signals.


Are rotating stars that emit directional beams of radio waves?

Yes, rotating stars can emit directional beams of radio waves. This phenomenon is known as pulsars, which are rapidly rotating neutron stars that emit beams of electromagnetic radiation, including radio waves, along their magnetic axes. The regular pulsing of these beams as they sweep across our line of sight gives the appearance of a pulsating or blinking star.


A neutron star that rotates rapidly and gives out a beam of radiation picked up as a pulse?

A pulsar. See related question


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.


What sends energy out into space in pulses?

Pulsars are rapidly rotating neutron stars that emit beams of radiation along their magnetic poles. As these beams sweep across Earth, they create a pulsating signal that can be detected by telescopes. This emission of energy in pulses is what gives pulsars their name.


What is a neutron star which emits that reaches the earth as radio wave and flashes of vesible light?

The neutron star emitting radio waves and visible light is likely a pulsar. Pulsars are highly magnetized, rotating neutron stars that emit beams of electromagnetic radiation from their magnetic poles. As the pulsar rotates, these beams sweep across our line of sight, causing periodic flashes of light and radio waves to be observed from Earth.


What radiation is given off by a nuclear bomb?

prompt (at time of explosion) - neutron, gamma, x-ray, UV, visible, thermal (IR), some radio.delayed (fallout) - beta, gamma, some alpha.Types of radiation called "ionizing radiation" - alpha, beta, gamma, x-ray, neutron.

What is A neutron star that rotates rapidly and gives out a beam radiation picked up as pulse?

If the beam is directed towards Earth, then it's called a pulsar.


What happens to a neutron star that gives it the name pulsar?
