Abstract:
Born in core-collapse supernovae, pulsars are highly-magnetized, spinning neutron stars, which emit highly directional electromagnetic radiation in beams above their magnetic poles. This produces a lighthouse effect: we see a pulse of radiation as the beam crosses our line-of-sight, repeating with each rotation of the neutron star.
