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.

Is A pulsar is a white dwarf true or false?

False. A pulsar is not a white dwarf; it is a highly magnetized, rotating neutron star that emits beams of electromagnetic radiation. Pulsars are the remnants of supernova explosions, while white dwarfs are the remnants of low to medium-mass stars that have exhausted their nuclear fuel and shed their outer layers.

Is the density of a pulsar greater than the density of a white dwarf?

The density of a pulsar or neutron star is much greater than that of a white dwarf. A typical (if there is such a thing) neutron star has a density of between 8.4 × 1016 to 1 × 1018 kg/m3 whereas a white dwarf has a density of about 1 × 109 kg/m3


What is the term for the tiny and very dense white dwarf star that is left behind after a supernova?

What do you think the difference is between a black dwarf and a supernova explosion?

A black dwarf is a dead white dwarf. By dead, I mean a star that no longer burns. A white dwarf, in turn, is a dead "moderate" star (a star like our sun). So a black dwarf is a star that's died twice, with mass not much higher or probably lower than that of our sun. A supernova, is the "death" of a star that's really huge. By huge, I mean it has a mass that's considerably higher than that of our sun. That kind of star doesn't turn into a white dwarf. Rather, it becomes either a neutron star (pulsar or non-pulsar) or a black hole.


Will the sun turn into a pulsar?

No. It does not have enough mass. Only stars 8 times the mass of the sun or greater can become pulsars. The sun will become a white dwarf.
