A neutron star contains a powerful magnetic field and spins very rapidly. the spinning magnetic field generates a tremendously powerful electric field, and the filed causes the production of electron positron pairs. As the charged particles are accelerated through the magnetic field, they emit photons in the direction of their motion, which produce powerful beams of electromagnetic radiation emerging from the magnetic poles. Pretty much when you look at it from far away it looks like it blinking at you so that's why they call it the light house model in the same way when your at sea and you see a blinking light in the distance which is a lighthouse. =)

Why do pulsars beep?
Pulsars rotate like most stars. Pulsars also emit beams of energy which, if they cross our path are perceived as pulses of energy with a regular rate (ticks, beeps, etc). This is called the lighthouse effect. Picture a lighthouse -- the lighthouse itself is the pulsar, and the beam of light is like the pulsar's beam.
Do all objects give off pulsars?
Pulsars are highly magnetized, rotating Neutron_starthat emit a beam of Electromagnetic_radiation. The radiation can only be observed when the beam of emission is pointing towards the Earth. This is called the lighthouse effect and gives rise to the pulsed nature that gives pulsars their name
When did The Pulsars end?
The Pulsars ended in 2000.
When was The Pulsars created?
The Pulsars was created in 1994.
How do you use pulsars in a sentence?
Pulsars are studied by astronomers.
How are pulsars related to supernovas?
Pulsars are created by supernovae.
The connection between pulsars and neutron stars is explained by what model?
The is no connection - they are one and the same. See related question.
What type of star gives out regular pulses of radio waves?
Pulsars. They are very dense neutron stars that rotate quickly and very regularly, emitting radiation pulses towards the earth like a lighthouse.
What is the lighthouse of space?
The pulsar might be considered the lighthouse of space. It "flashes" or "blinks" at different rates depending on its speed of rotation. Pulsars (pulsating stars) are spinning neutron stars that are highly magnetized. Their spin, coupled with their emission of higly direction oriented "beams" of radiation, makes them appear to pulsate in a lighthouse effect. And that's how they got their nickname. A link is provided to the Wikipedia article on the pulsar.
Do neutron stars have pulsars?
(Quotation from "The Young Oxford Book of Astronomy" Simon and Jacqueline Mitton)"In the intense Magnetic Field of a Neutron star, spiraling electrons generate radio waves that are beamed out like a searchlight. The star spins rapidly, swinging the radio beam across our line of sight, like a lighthouse. Some Pulsars emit light, X-rays and gamma rays as well as Radio waves. The slowest pulsars have pulses about four seconds apart but the most rapid repeat in a matter of milliseconds."Which basically tells you that neutron stars can be pulsars, and the pulsar is not an individual part of a neutron star.
Explain data model?
Explain data model?
Where are pulsars located in space?
Pulsars are located every where around the universe keep in mind pulsars are neutron stars so that means they were formed by large stars that have aged and died out
