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.


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.

No. A pulsar is a 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.


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.


Where would a pulsar be found?

Anywhere that a normal star has collapsed into a neutron star. See, a pulsar is essentially a neutron star that magnetically rotates and emits long arm-like streams of radiation. So it is possible for a pulsar to found almost anywhere in space.


Can a neutron star be a pulsar?

Yes, see related question


What is a pulsar in space?

Basically another name for a neutron star.
