Neutron stars rotate rapidly due to their conservation of angular momentum. When a massive star collapses into a neutron star, its core spins faster as it contracts. Since angular momentum is conserved, the neutron star continues to rotate rapidly as a remnant of the collapsed star.
What else can I help you with?
A pulsar requires that a neutron star 1rotate rapidly 2have a radius of at least 10Km 3have a stron magnetic field 4 rotate on an axis different from the axis of the magnetic field what is tru?
The true statement is: "A pulsar requires that a neutron star rotates rapidly." Pulsars are rapidly rotating neutron stars with strong magnetic fields, which emit beams of electromagnetic radiation along their magnetic poles, leading to their characteristic pulsed signals as they rotate. The other conditions mentioned are not essential for a neutron star to become a pulsar.
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.
Why does theory predict that a neutron star should spin fast?
Neutron stars are born from massive stars collapsing, which conserves the original star's angular momentum. Since the original star had a slow rotation, the neutron star that forms from it will have a faster spin due to the conservation of angular momentum.
Two important properties of young neutron stars are?
Rapid rotation: Neutron stars can spin incredibly fast, with some completing hundreds of rotations per second. Strong magnetic fields: Neutron stars have extremely powerful magnetic fields, magnitudes stronger than any other object in the universe, which can influence their behavior and emit radiation.
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 neutron stars stationary or do they rotate?
They rotate with an amazingly stable rotation rate.

Why is a neutron star expected to spin rapidly?
All young neutron stars spin rapidly. You might be confused with a pulsar. See related questions.
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
Do neutron stars revolve?
Revolve means they have to have something to revolve around. Do you mean rotate? [See related question] All neutron stars rotate due to the conservation of momentum. At birth they move incredibly quickly - sometimes a thousand times a second but as they age, they will slowly slow down.
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.
Why does theory predict that a neutron star should spin fast?
Neutron stars are born from massive stars collapsing, which conserves the original star's angular momentum. Since the original star had a slow rotation, the neutron star that forms from it will have a faster spin due to the conservation of angular momentum.
How do neutron stars differ from other giant stars?
A neutron star is the "end of the line" for a giant star that exploded as a supernova. The material in a neutron star is packed so densely that a chunk of it the size of a cigarette package would weigh thousands of tons. It spins rapidly, at a steady rate (they are sometimes called "radio beacon stars").
Why do stars seem to rotate?
Stars actually do rotate.
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.
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.
