Pulsars. They don't actually emit pulses. They emit a steady jet of energy from one spot on the surface. They look like pulses to us because the rotation of the star sweeps the jet over us at regular intervals.

A Pulsar, it emits pulses of radio waves.
All stars emit radiation, but Pulsars are the only ones that emit detectable radio waves.

Stars that have observable pulses in luminosity are called pulsating or intrinsic variables. These stars actually expand and contract as a result of the stellar aging process. This category includes Cepheid and cepheid-like stars, and long-period variables such as Mira.
