Difference between Pulsar and SAX J1808.4-3658

Pulsar vs. SAX J1808.4-3658

A pulsar (from pulse and -ar as in quasar) is a highly magnetized rotating neutron star or white dwarf that emits a beam of electromagnetic radiation. A transient X-ray source first discovered in 1996 by the Italian-Dutch BeppoSAX satellite, SAX J1808.4-3658 revealed X-ray pulsations at the 401 Hz neutron star spin frequency when it was observed during a subsequent outburst in 1998 by NASA's RXTE satellite.

Similarities between Pulsar and SAX J1808.4-3658

Pulsar and SAX J1808.4-3658 have 4 things in common (in Unionpedia): Millisecond pulsar, Neutron star, Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer, X-ray binary.

Millisecond pulsar

A millisecond pulsar (MSP) is a pulsar with a rotational period in the range of about 1–10 milliseconds.
