In the universe, what are pulsars?

  • A.A group of stars
  • B.Rotating neutron stars
  • C.Explosion of a star
  • D.Radio waves emitted by a star

Answer: B

Pulsars are rotating neutron stars.

A neutron star is the extremely dense core left when a massive star explodes as a supernova. Pulsars are neutron stars that spin rapidly, up to hundreds of times a second, and emit beams of radiation from their magnetic poles. As a beam sweeps past the Earth, it is detected as regular pulses, like a lighthouse.

A pulsar is a single object, not a group of stars. The explosion that creates it is a supernova, and the radio waves are what we detect from a pulsar, not the pulsar itself.
