What kind of star can be detected by radio telescopes?

Radio telescopes detect stars known as 'Pulsars'. They're very small and also known as neutron stars.


Why do astronomers find it difficult to locate extrasolar planets with telescopes-?

Light from the stars they orbit makes it difficult to see them.


What kinds of telescopes are used to see stars in visible light?

Refracting telescopes and reflecting telescopes are commonly used to observe stars in visible light. These telescopes utilize lenses or mirrors to gather and focus light, allowing astronomers to view stars with clarity and detail.


Do massive stars become neutron stars?

Some massive stars will become neutron stars. When massive stars die they will either become neutron stars or black holes depending on how much mass is left behind.


Can satellite navigation be used to locate stars?

No, satellite navigation systems like GPS are designed to locate positions on Earth based on signals from satellites in orbit. To locate stars, astronomers use telescopes and star charts to study their positions in the night sky.


What are the instruments in observing stars?

Telescopes are used for observing stars.


Used by astronomers to study stars and planets?

Astronomers use telescopes to study stars and planets by capturing light from these celestial objects and analyzing it. They can gather data on the properties of stars and planets, such as their temperature, composition, and distance from Earth, to deepen our understanding of the universe. Telescopes come in various forms, such as optical telescopes, radio telescopes, and space telescopes like the Hubble Space Telescope.


What is the diffrance between stars that become white dwarfs and stars that become neutron stars?

Stars that become white dwarfs die but become black holes . Neutron stars are born from a Super Nova that stored its energy and became a neutron star.


Do astronomers use ground-based X-ray telescopes?

Yes, astronomers use ground-based X-ray telescopes to study high-energy phenomena in space. These telescopes are typically located at high-altitude sites to reduce interference from Earth's atmosphere and are used to observe sources such as black holes, neutron stars, and supernova remnants.


What tool is used to observe a pulsar?

A pulsar is typically observed using radio telescopes, which can detect the regular pulses of radio waves emitted by the pulsar. These telescopes, such as the Arecibo Observatory or the Parkes Observatory, are equipped with sensitive receivers that can capture the faint signals from these rapidly rotating neutron stars. In addition to radio telescopes, optical and X-ray telescopes can also be used to study pulsars across different wavelengths.


If you wanted to study a neutron star would you use a visible light telescope or an x ray telescope?

Mostly neutron stars are detected with radio telescopes. Some can actually be seen with optical telescopes, and these are all optical pulsars. Neutron stars were discovered because they are radio sources. The first star known to be a neutron star was the Crab Nebula neutron star, or Crab Pulsar, which was discovered to be a neutron star because of its radio emissions in 1965. Its apparent magnitude is 16.5. This puts it beyond the abilities of most amateur telescopes.


Are all neutron stars also pulsars?

No, not all neutron stars are pulsars. Pulsars are neutron stars that emit beams of radiation that are detectable from Earth as rapid pulses of light. While many neutron stars are pulsars, not all neutron stars exhibit this pulsing behavior.
