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.

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.


Why aren't all neutron stars seen as plusars?

Because of their axis of rotation. It that axis is not pointing towards Earth, the pulses are not detected and they are just classified as a neutron star.


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.


What is the most unnatrual phenomenon?

The most unnatural phenomenons are called quasars and pulsars. They both originate from super massive stars, and they are the 'corpse' left behind as the huge star explodes. They spin ad emit large jets of light, and have rarely ever been seen.


Is the density of a pulsar greater than the density of a neutron star?

No. A black hole is in some ways just a very compact neutron star; if a normal neutron star was able to implode that far, it would have done so and become a black hole already. There is a simple law of physics called the Pauli Exclusion Principle which states that no two neutrons can occupy the same quantum state simultaneously this prevents further collapse of neutron stars.


When are stars seen?

Stars are typically seen at night when the sky is clear and dark, away from light pollution. You can also see some stars during the day if the conditions are right, but they are most visible at night.


Why stars are not seen in daylight?

Because.. the light from the Sun is far too bright to allow stars to be seen.


Have you seen a shoting star?

There are many people who have seen shooting stars. There will be many more sightings of shooting stars in the future.


Why can't stars be seen from the moon?

Stars can't be seen from the surface of the moon during the daytime because the brightness of the sun overwhelms the faint light of the stars. In the lunar night, stars can be seen, but due to the lack of a significant atmosphere on the moon to scatter the light, they appear much brighter and can make it difficult to see fainter stars.


Does Saturn have any stars other than the Sun?

Saturn is part of our solar system, in which the sun is the only star. In terms of the stars seen at night; they are the same stars seen in the night sky of Earth.
