Down: 2) the explanation of a pulsar as a spilling neutron star sweeping beams of electromagnetic radiation around the sky3) the breeze of high energy particles flowing away from a spinning neutron star4) the lengthening of the wavelength of a photon due to its escape from a gravitational field7) the radius of the event horizon around a black hole9) a pulsar with a pulse period of only a few milliseconds 11) a small, highly dense star, with a radius about 10 km, composed almost entirely of tightly packed neutrons 13) a class of neutron star having a very strong magnetic field Across: 1) the object of zero radius into which the matter in a black hole is believed to fall5) a source of short, precisely timed radio burst, believed to be spinning neutron stars 6) a mass that has collapsed to such a small volume that its gravity prevents the escape of all radiation. also, the volume of space from which radiation may not escape8) the boundary of the region of a black hole from which no radiation may escape. no event that occurs within the event horizon is visible to a distance observer10) disturbances in a gravitational field traveling at the velocity of light and carrying energy away from an object with a rapidly changing mass distribution 12) the slowing of moving clocks or clocks in strong gravitational fields14) produced when a very massive star collapses into a black hole. thought to be a possible source of gamma-ray bursts15) an object that produces repeated burst of x-rays16) a sudden, powerful burst of gamma rays
