Answer:

Neutron stars emit radio waves.

Step-by-step explanation:

Its strict periodicity turned out to be the result of an unusual propagation path. Neutron stars emit radio waves as a narrow beam that "shines" through space like a beacon while the star is rotating. Therefore, the radio emission of neutron stars is observed as periodic pulsations.

Answer:

Most detected neutron stars are pulsars, and emit radio-frequency electromagnetic radiation. About 700 radio pulsars are listed in the Princeton catalog, and all but one emit radio waves at the 400 MHz and 1400 MHz frequencies.
