===Spectra=== In addition to [[radio wave|radio]] emissions, neutron stars have also been identified in other parts of the [[electromagnetic spectrum]]. This includes [[Light|visible light]], [[near infrared]], [[ultraviolet]], [[X-ray]]s, and [[gamma ray]]s.<ref name="pavlov">{{cite web |url=http://www.pulsarastronomy.net/IAUS291/download/Oral/IAUS291_PavlovG.pdf |title=X-ray Properties of Rotation Powered Pulsars and Thermally Emitting Neutron Stars |publisher=pulsarastronomy.net |access-date=6 April 2016 |first=George |last=Pavlov |archive-date=6 December 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151206215220/http://www.pulsarastronomy.net/IAUS291/download/Oral/IAUS291_PavlovG.pdf |url-status=live }}</ref> Pulsars observed in X-rays are known as [[Accretion-powered pulsars|X-ray pulsars if accretion-powered]], while those identified in visible light are known as [[optical pulsar]]s.
