Pulsar Star
A pulsar is a Neutron Star which emits beams of radiation that sweep through the earth’s line of sight.
Like a black hole it is an end point to stellar evolution.
The “pulses” of high-energy radiation we see from a pulsar are due to a miss-alignment of the neutron star’s rotation axis and its magnetic axis. Pulsars pulse because the rotation of the neutron star causes the radiation generated within the magnetic field to sweep inand out of our line of sight with a regular period.
