A Pulsar

Step-by-step explanation:

  • A star whose core has collapsed and the protons and electrons are crushed together to form a neutron is called a neutron star.
  • These stars are formed from massive stars.
  • These stars are of two types namely, the magnetars and Pulsars.
  • Magnetars have very huge and strong magnetic field about trillion times that of the Earth.
  • Pulsars are those neutron stars that spin.
  • These emit pulse of radiation at an interval of few milliseconds.
