character: Pulsars
topic: Pulsars are a type of neutron star that emit beams of radiation from their magnetic poles, which can be detected as pulses when the beam points toward Earth. They are used for precise timekeeping and studying fundamental physics.
topic: The formation of neutron stars occurs as a result of supernova explosions, where the core of a massive star collapses and the outer layers are expelled, demonstrating the cycle of stellar evolution.
topic: Neutron stars are incredibly dense remnants of supernova explosions, composed mainly of neutrons. They have strong gravitational forces and are known for their rapid rotation.
topic: Neutron stars can further collapse under their own gravity to form black holes when their mass exceeds the Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff limit, leading to significant astronomical phenomena.
