Pulsars that were discovered before 1993 tend to retain their B names rather than use their J names (e.g. PSR J1921+2153 is more commonly known as PSR B1919+21). Recently discovered pulsars only have a J name (e.g. PSR J0437−4715). All pulsars have a J name that provides more precise coordinates of its location in the sky. [38]

A companion star may be destroyed during the interaction with a pulsar but leave a planet-sized remnant, [3] such a system is known as a "black widow". [14] Finally, it is possible that planets from companion stars or rogue planets are captured by a pulsar, [15] or that a pulsar merged with the original host star of the planets. [16]
Neutron stars can be classified as pulsars if they are magnetized, if they rotate, and if they emit beams of electromagnetic radiation out of their magnetic poles. [4] They may include soft gamma repeaters (SGR) and radio-quiet neutron stars , as well as pulsars such as radio pulsars , recycled pulsars , low mass X-ray pulsars, and accretion ...
