What neutron star emit pulses of radiation called?
Pulsars and neutron stars emit a beam of electromagnetic radiation.
How are rotating neutron stars able to produce pulses of radiation as seen by an observer on Earth?
Neutron stars are able to produce pulses of radiation because they are rotating, and only a certain place on the neutron star releases the radiation(just like how light comes out of a flashlight). As the neutron star rotates, the point on the neutron star also moves along. When it points toward the Earth, we see the pulse.
What is the name to neutron stars that give off pulses of radio waves?
A pulsar is a special kind of neutron star, which is the ultra-dense leftover core of a massive star. Pulsars emit beams of radiation that sweep out in circles as the pulsar spins. When those beams flash over Earth, we see them as regular, repeating pulses of radio emission.
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.
What neutron star emit pulses of radiation called?
Pulsars and neutron stars emit a beam of electromagnetic radiation.
How are neutron stars related to pulsars?
A pulsar is a rapidly spinning neutron star that releases regular pulses of electromagnetic radiation from its magnetic field
Flickering neutron stars formed in supernovas is what?
Neutron stars. A neutron star pulses, however if that pulse is detected on Earth it is called a pulsar, even though they are the same thing. See related questions.

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.
What is the name to neutron stars that give off pulses of radio waves?
A pulsar is a special kind of neutron star, which is the ultra-dense leftover core of a massive star. Pulsars emit beams of radiation that sweep out in circles as the pulsar spins. When those beams flash over Earth, we see them as regular, repeating pulses of radio emission.
What type of star gives out regular pulses of radio waves?
Pulsars. They are very dense neutron stars that rotate quickly and very regularly, emitting radiation pulses towards the earth like a lighthouse.
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 is the same as a neutron star?
A pulsar. Neutron stars that are spinning rapidly can generate pulses of X-ray radiation, and are called "pulsars". Interestingly enough, the first discoveries of pulsars were termed "LGM objects", for "little green men"; before the structure was understood, scientists thought that the PRECISELY timed pulses of X-rays might have been some sort of interstellar radio beacons, a galactic electronic navigational aid.
How are pulsars formed?
Pulsars are rapidly rotating neutron stars that emit beams of electromagnetic energy. Neutron stars form when the core of a massive star collapses and goes supernova leaving behind a neutron star which will begin rotating and releasing energy.
What sends energy out into space in pulses?
Pulsars are rapidly rotating neutron stars that emit beams of radiation along their magnetic poles. As these beams sweep across Earth, they create a pulsating signal that can be detected by telescopes. This emission of energy in pulses is what gives pulsars their name.
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.
