What is the same as a neutron star?

A pulsar. Neutron stars that are spinning rapidly can generate pulses of X-ray radiation, and are called "pulsars".

Interestingly enough, the first discoveries of pulsars were termed "LGM objects", for "little green men"; before the structure was understood, scientists thought that the PRECISELY timed pulses of X-rays might have been some sort of interstellar radio beacons, a galactic electronic navigational aid.

What is a rotating neutron star that gives off radiation with every turn?

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.

What is a rapidly spinning neutron star 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 is the average density of a neutron star that has the same mass as the sun?

The average density of a neutron star with the same mass as the sun would be about 1 x 10^17 kg/m^3. Neutron stars are incredibly dense objects, as they are formed from the remnants of massive stars that have undergone supernova explosions.


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.


Is the neutron star a young star?

No. A neutron star ts the remnant of a massive star that exploded.

How does a neutron star differ from a main sequence star?

A neutron star is a stellar remnant


Is the density of a neutron star the same as the sun?

No. Neutron stars are far MORE DENSE than the Sun's core. If the Sun were twice its actual mass, and if it were to collapse into a ball around 10 miles in diameter, THEN it would be as dense as a neutron star. Compared to a neutron star, the Sun is like a mist of hydrogen, a sort of fog.


Do black holes and neutron stars have any connection?

Yes, both black holes and neutron stars are remnants of the death of massive stars. Neutron stars form when the core of a massive star collapses but does not produce a black hole. Black holes are formed when the core of a massive star collapses beyond the neutron star stage.
