Pulsars are typically around 20 kilometers (12 miles) in diameter, which is roughly the size of a small city. Despite their small size, pulsars are incredibly dense, with their mass being several times that of the Sun.
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.
No. A pulsar is a neutron star.
Pulsar Stargrave was created in 1977.
The atmosphere of the Crab Pulsar is primarily composed of ionized particles, such as electrons and positrons, due to the intense magnetic and electric fields emitted by the pulsar. These high-energy particles interact with the strong magnetic field to produce the unique emission properties observed from the Crab Pulsar.
A star that pulsates is known as a variable star.
