* X-ray burster – a neutron star with a low mass binary companion from which matter is accreted resulting in irregular bursts of energy from the surface of the neutron star.
* Pulsar – general term for neutron stars that emit directed pulses of radiation towards us at regular intervals due to their strong magnetic fields.
* Magnetar – a neutron star with an extremely strong magnetic field; some magnetars are observed as soft gamma repeaters.
