What else can I help you with?
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.
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.
Which of the following is not a type of nuclear radiation alpha particles beta particles neutron emission x rays?
X-rays are not a type of nuclear radiation. They are a type of electromagnetic radiation.
How are rotating neutron stars able to produce pulses of radiation?
A rotating neutron star may emit continuous beams of electromagnetic radiation from its poles. Due to its rotation, and the fact that the magnetic poles do not necessarily align with the axis of rotation, such a beam may periodically be directed towards our solar system. We observe the beam as it flashes past us, noting a pulse.It may also be possible for a neutron star in a binary system to periodically accrete enough matter on its surface from its companion for it to undergo fusion, producing omnidirectional X-ray flashes.
What are the names of 2 types of ionising radiation?
Alpha and Beta Radiation are types of ionizing radiation. They are both charged particles though Alpha is heavier than the particle Beta.
What is a sentence with pulsar in it?
Pulsars are highly magnetized, rotating neutron stars that emit a beam of electromagnetic radiation
What type of energy does a pulsar emit?
A Pulsar is highly magnetised, rotating neutron star that emits a beam of electromagnetic radiation.
How do you define a pulsar?
A pulsar is an extraterrestrial source emitting regular waves of electromagnetic radiation which is believed to be a rapidly rotating neutron star.
What is another name for a pulsating star?
Pulsars are highly magnetized, rotating neutron stars that emit a beam of electromagnetic radiation with it's magnetic pole pointing towards Earth.So a pulsar is a neutron star, it's just we can observe the beam from Earth.
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 is the size of an average pulsar?
The size of an average pulsar is about 20 kilometers in diameter. Pulsars are highly magnetized rotating neutron stars that emit beams of electromagnetic radiation, and their small size makes them incredibly dense objects.
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.
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
Which of the following is not a type of nuclear radiation alpha particles beta particles neutron emission x rays?
X-rays are not a type of nuclear radiation. They are a type of electromagnetic radiation.
What are the forms of radiation?
Alpha, Beta, Neutron, X-ray, Gamma, Neutron radiation, Electromagnetic radiation, Visible light, Infrared, Microwave, Radio waves, Very low frequency (VLF), Extremely low frequency (ELF), Thermal radiation (heat) and Black body radiation.
What is a rotating neutron star that gives off radiation with every turn?
It is a neutron star. A pulsar is nothing more than a neutron star whose "beams" are detectable from Earth. Apart from that they are the same thing.
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.
