What happens star's furnace stops?

Then, depending on the remaining mass of the star, it will collapse into a white dwarf, a neutron star (aka pulsar), or a black hole.Then, depending on the remaining mass of the star, it will collapse into a white dwarf, a neutron star (aka pulsar), or a black hole.Then, depending on the remaining mass of the star, it will collapse into a white dwarf, a neutron star (aka pulsar), or a black hole.Then, depending on the remaining mass of the star, it will collapse into a white dwarf, a neutron star (aka pulsar), or a black hole.


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).


Is a pulsar a white dwarf?

A pulsar is a type of neutron star, a collapsed core of an extremely massive star that exploded in a supernova. Whereas white dwarfs have incredibly high densities by earthly standards, neutron stars are even denser, cramming roughly 1.3 solar masses into a city-sized sphere.


What is a neutron star which emits radiation that reaches the earth as radio waves and flashes of visible light?

pulsar


How hot is a pulsar?

A Pulsar is nothing more than a neutron star which points towards Earth [See related question] A newly formed neutron star would have a temperature of 1011 - 1012 Kelvin, but after a year, it will cool down to 106 (a million) Kelvin, due to the large number of neutrinos it emits.

Where would a pulsar and a neutron star be found in stellar evolution?

After a death of a Giant Star, a corpse of a star will be the remaining of it, right in the center of the aftermath, you will find one of the strangest objects in the Universe, the Pulsar and the Neutron Star.

A neutron star that rotates rapidly and gives off pulse is call a pulsar.


What is the composition of atmosphere of the Crab Pulsar?

The crab pulsar is a neutron star, it does not have an atmosphere as far as we know.


A neutron star that rotates rapidly and emits light?

It's called a pulsar. However - ALL young neutron stars emit the said beam. It's only if that beam is detectable on Earth is it called a pulsar. So a Neutron Star and a Pulsar are the same thing. See related questions. but then again they are different.
