How are pulsars formed?
Pulsars are rapidly rotating neutron stars that emit beams of electromagnetic energy. Neutron stars form when the core of a massive star collapses and goes supernova leaving behind a neutron star which will begin rotating and releasing energy.
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 is a good sentence for neutron star?
Good sentence for neutron star - WOW ! see that;s a neutron star !!
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.
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.
Why do neutron stars rotate so much more rapidly than ordinary stars?
Neutron stars rotate rapidly due to their conservation of angular momentum. When a massive star collapses into a neutron star, its core spins faster as it contracts. Since angular momentum is conserved, the neutron star continues to rotate rapidly as a remnant of the collapsed star.
A spinning neutron star has been observed at the center of a?
neutron star has been observed at the center of a supernova remnant, known as the Crab Nebula. This neutron star, also called a pulsar, spins rapidly, emitting beams of radiation that are observed as pulses by astronomers.
Is a pulsar a neutron star?
Yes. A pulsar is a rapidly spinning neutron star.
A pulsar requires that a neutron star 1rotate rapidly 2have a radius of at least 10Km 3have a stron magnetic field 4 rotate on an axis different from the axis of the magnetic field what is tru?
The true statement is: "A pulsar requires that a neutron star rotates rapidly." Pulsars are rapidly rotating neutron stars with strong magnetic fields, which emit beams of electromagnetic radiation along their magnetic poles, leading to their characteristic pulsed signals as they rotate. The other conditions mentioned are not essential for a neutron star to become a pulsar.
How do neutron stars differ from other giant stars?
A neutron star is the "end of the line" for a giant star that exploded as a supernova. The material in a neutron star is packed so densely that a chunk of it the size of a cigarette package would weigh thousands of tons. It spins rapidly, at a steady rate (they are sometimes called "radio beacon stars").
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.
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.

Why aren't all neutron stars seen as plusars?
Because of their axis of rotation. It that axis is not pointing towards Earth, the pulses are not detected and they are just classified as a neutron star.
Why is a neutron star expected to spin rapidly?
All young neutron stars spin rapidly. You might be confused with a pulsar. See related questions.
A pulsar requires that a neutron star?
Has it's magnetic axis directed towards Earth
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
