Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Pulsars are not members of the main sequence as they are not regularly active stars undergoing nuclear fusion. Instead, they are highly magnetized, rotating neutron stars formed from the remnants of supernovae. While they are typically small and composed largely of neutrons, these characteristics are not exclusive to pulsars, so options A and C are not definitive indicators of a pulsar. Option B is a common feature of pulsars, but not all rapidly rotating objects are pulsars.
