Because "normal" stars would break apart at the rotational speeds of a pulsar/neutron star.
A "typical" neutron star rotates about once every 4 seconds. The fastest observed rotates once every 1.4 milliseconds. So it has rotated about 700 times in one second.
The short length of pulsar pulses eliminate normal stars as possible pulsars because normal stars do not have strong enough magnetic fields.
The unique rotation of a pulsar causes it to emit periodic pulses of radiation. This emission is due to the pulsar's strong magnetic field and rapid rotation, which focuses beams of radiation along its magnetic poles. As the pulsar rotates, these beams sweep across our line of sight, creating the observed pulses of radiation.
it is a (n) pulsar
yes, some do.
A pulsar can't even be seen by a giant telescope, you can only perceive the pulses they send with a radio.
A pulsar.
It convert the meters mechanical reading to pulses to be transmitted with a radio transmitter
If it also emits pulses in each rotation, it is called a pulsar.
Pulsar stars get their name from the pulses of radiation they emit as they rapidly rotate. These pulses are detected as regular intervals of electromagnetic radiation, such as radio waves, X-rays, and gamma rays. The word "pulsar" is a combination of "pulsating" and "star."
If the beam is directed towards Earth, it's called a Pulsar.
Because they both emit regular pulses of electromagnetic radiation
The length of time between pulses is the "pulse repetition rate". The length of time between consecutive waves is the "period". It's the reciprocal of the frequency.
