Are all neutron stars also pulsars?
No, not all neutron stars are pulsars. Pulsars are neutron stars that emit beams of radiation that are detectable from Earth as rapid pulses of light. While many neutron stars are pulsars, not all neutron stars exhibit this pulsing behavior.
Are all pulsars neutron stars?
All young neutron stars in reality are "pulsars". However, for a neutron star to be termed a pulsar, it's magnetic axis has to point towards Earth. (So we can see the pulse, even though all young neutron stars have a pulse, they cannot be observed from Earth.)
Flickering neutron stars formed in supernovas is what?
Neutron stars. A neutron star pulses, however if that pulse is detected on Earth it is called a pulsar, even though they are the same thing. See related questions.
What is degenerate matter?
Degenerate matter is extremely dense matter with characteristics governed by quantum mechanics. One of the notable traits is that temperature and pressure are independent of one another. Two forms of matter known to exist are electron degenerate matter, which comprises white dwarfs, and neutron degenerate matter, which comprises neutron stars.
How did neutron stars get its name?
The name "neutron star" some from the fact that the neutron star is mainly composed of neutrons. The gravitational pull of a neutron star is so strong that most matter are crushed into neutrons.
What has the author A Schmitt written?
A. Schmitt has written: 'Dense matter in compact stars' -- subject(s): Neutron stars, Quantum chromodynamics, Stars, Constitution
Which stars are composed of matter in which electrons have combined with protons?
Stars may collapse to such a degree, perhaps after a supernova, that, in the core, electrons are squashed into the nucleus, reacting with protons to form neutrons. A star of this collapsed state is called neutron stars.
Are some stars about as small as earth?
Yes, there are even stars smaller than earth. Most are collapsed ancient stars that have become neutron stars and have masses slightly larger than our sun currently has.
Are Some stars as small as earth?
Yes, there are even stars smaller than earth. Most are collapsed ancient stars that have become neutron stars and have masses slightly larger than our sun currently has.
Why are neutron stars weird?
because all stars are different than others and most stars will be weird ... just like this question.
Why aren't all neutron stars seen as pulsars?
Not all neutron stars are seen as pulsars because pulsars emit beams of radiation that are only visible if they are pointed towards Earth. If a neutron star's beams are not aligned with our line of sight, it will not appear as a pulsar.
How heavy is a pin head size neutron star?
It would not exist. A neutron star is what it is by virtue of the mass of the whole star. Extracting just a pinhead would revert that matter back to normal matter. For the sake of density - as weight has nothing to do with matter outside of a gravitational body. The denisty of a pinhead of neutron star would be the equivalant of about 100 times the mass of the Great Pyramid of Giza
