← ScienceWhich distortion results when a neutron star warps spacetime?
A)Gravitational lensing of background stars✓
B)Increased Hawking radiation emission rate
C)Spontaneous baryogenesis in the crust
D)Cherenkov radiation burst near poles
💡 Explanation
Gravitational lensing occurs because spacetime curvature by the neutron star bends the path of light. This focuses light from background stars, therefore, they appear brighter and distorted, rather than accelerating particle emissions or influencing nucleosynthesis.
