Is it true that neutron stars are real astronomical objects confirmed by pulsar observations since 1967?
Yes. One peer-reviewed source explicitly states neutron stars were not recognized until pulsars were discovered in 1967, and another peer-reviewed source says pulsars discovered in 1967 were identified as neutron stars. Other sources treat neutron stars as real observed objects but do not address the 1967 pulsar confirmation.
