Pulsars "blink" because they _____.

are rotating

release bursts of photons every few microseconds

release burst of gamma rays when their surface is cracked

have a strong magnetic field

Verified Answer :

A pulsar, or a pulsing star, is a highly magnetized neutron star that emits a beam of electromagnetic radiation. So they blink when they are rotating because the beam of radiation they emit can only be seen when it is facing the Earth.
Hope this helps.
