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.

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 the main difference between a pulsar and a binary system that a pulsar is made up of two neutron stars and that a binary system is made of of two normal stars?

Not exactly, while a pulsar is a specific type of neutron star (that being a "spinning neutron star") and a binary system is a pair of stars orbiting each other, a pulsar does not need to be part of a binary system. It would be possible, however to have a binary system with one of the pair being a pulsar and the other a neutron star (assumed to be the non-spinning or "normal neutron star" variety).
