1. A neutron star is cooling down and does not emit any electromagnetic radiation, whereas a pulsar will always be hot and emit a huge amount of electromagnetic radiation.

WHY?

If the supernova is really strong, it may tear out some electrons from the core, so that the core will be only made of ions. The ions' electrons and protons will then be squashed onto neutrons with an electrical charge. After the supernova has occurred, the core alone will be left. It will be very small and spin really fast. As far as we all know, if electricity (object with an electrical charge) is spinning (making circles), it emits beams of electromagnetic radiation. The more electricity there is, the faster it goes the more electromagnetic radiation it emits. Because a pulsar is unbelievably dens (has a mass of about 10 Suns and has a diameter from half a mile to 20 km. A peanut there would way millions of tons) and spins about 30 times a second around its axis, it emits a huge amount of electromagnetic radiation. It is strong enough to attract some massive objects. It is bright and hot (produces energy), because it turns the objects it attracts (which are coming in the form of dust and gas) into solid. This produces loads of energy.

If the supernova is not that powerful, it does not tear out enough electrons from the core, so the core will be made of atoms. As far as we know, atoms do not have electrical charge. If that's the case, a neutron star will be formed.

2. There is no such a car called the 'Neutron star', whereas the 'pulsar' is a variety of Nissan.

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.


What do you mean when you say every pulsar is a neutron star but not every neutron star is a pulsar?

All "pulsars" are neutron stars - it's just "we" term pulsars as neutron stars who's orientation towards us shows the beam of electromagnetic radiation. Other neutron stars who's orientation, do not point towards us are not called pulsars, although they exhibit the same characteristics.


Are pulsars found in supernova remnants.?

Yes, pulsars are often found in supernova remnants. Pulsars are rapidly rotating neutron stars that emit beams of radiation, and they are formed when a massive star undergoes a supernova explosion. The remnants of the supernova provide the environment from which the pulsar originates.


Some neutron stars that emit pulses of radiation called?

Some neutron stars that emit pulses of radiation are known as pulsars. Pulsars rotate rapidly and emit beams of electromagnetic radiation from their magnetic poles, which are observed as regular pulses when they sweep across the Earth.


The connection between pulsars and neutron stars is explained by what model?

The connection between pulsars and neutron stars is explained by the generally accepted model that pulsars are rapidly rotating neutron stars that emit beams of radiation from their magnetic poles, causing periodic signals to be observed when the beams cross our line of sight. This emission of radiation is what gives rise to the pulsed nature of pulsar signals.

Are pulsars a kind of neutron star?

Pulsars are not only a kind of neutron star, they are neutron stars. See related question.


Are all neutron stars pulsars?

No, not all neutron stars are pulsars. Pulsars are a type of neutron star that emits beams of radiation, which can be detected as pulses of light. Some neutron stars do not emit these beams and are not classified as pulsars.

Where do pulsars originate from?

The collapse of massive stars - the same as neutron stars.

Why are you studying pulsars?

Because I am interested in neutron stars.


Why aren't all neutron stars seen as pulsars?

Not all neutron stars are seen as pulsars because pulsars emit beams of radiation that are only visible if they are pointed towards Earth. If a neutron star's beams are not aligned with our line of sight, it will not appear as a pulsar.


Why aren't all young neutron stars observed as pulsars?

Not all young neutron stars are observed as pulsars because pulsars emit beams of radiation that are only visible if they are pointed towards Earth. If the beams are not aligned with our line of sight, the neutron star will not be observed as a pulsar.


Where are pulsars located in space?

Pulsars are located every where around the universe keep in mind pulsars are neutron stars so that means they were formed by large stars that have aged and died out


Are all pulsars neutron stars?

All young neutron stars in reality are "pulsars". However, for a neutron star to be termed a pulsar, it's magnetic axis has to point towards Earth. (So we can see the pulse, even though all young neutron stars have a pulse, they cannot be observed from Earth.)
