A binary pulsar is a type of astronomical object that consists of two stars in a close orbit, one of which is a pulsar. A pulsar is a highly magnetized rotating neutron star that emits beams of electromagnetic radiation, particularly in the radio frequency range, from its magnetic poles. As the star rotates, these beams can sweep across the Earth, producing a regular pulsing effect, similar to that of a lighthouse.
