A neutron star no longer produces energy - it is a dead star. It will gradually get colder, until it stops emitting any significant amount of heat. Any heat the neutron star radiates is residual heat - heat that was produced earlier, either through fusion, or through the tremendous gravitational collaps that produced the neutron star.
Radium: treatment by radiotherapy of some cancers, luminescent paintings for dials, neutron source as Ra-Be, uses in research laboratoryPolonium: radioactive heat source, neutron source as Po-Be, devices to eliminate dust and static elecrtricity, neutron trigger in nuclear weapons, uses in research laboratory
Both white dwarfs and neutron stars are extremely dense remnants of the collapsed cores of dead stars.
There is an upper limit to the mass of neutron stars because if the neutron star is too massive, neutrons would be crushed by the gravity of the neutron star, and the neutron star would collapse into a black hole.
Neutron stars are so heavy because they are the compact core of a star that is 8 time the mass of our Sun. The most massive neutron stars possible are 3 times the mass of our Sun.
Both white dwarfs and neutron stars match the description. Neutron stars are smaller, hotter, and denser.
Some massive stars will become neutron stars. When massive stars die they will either become neutron stars or black holes depending on how much mass is left behind.
Plutonium applications: - fuel for nuclear reactors - explosive for nuclear weapons - neutron source - isotopic power source - isotopic heat source - in the past, power source for pacemakers
Nuclear fusion
Internal heat source include celestial objects, such as moons, dwarf planets, brown dwarfs, stars and planets.
the element that can be used as a neutron source is beryllium
Stars that become white dwarfs die but become black holes . Neutron stars are born from a Super Nova that stored its energy and became a neutron star.

Some applications of californium: - neutron source as Cf-Be source - neutron source for neutron activation analysis (portable installations) - neutron radiography - irradiation for some cancers treatment - nuclear fuel rod scanning - neutron source to detect water, petroleum, metals, methane etc.
Pulsars and neutron stars are hot because of all the residual heat left over in the core of the original star.

The smallest stars are called neutron stars.They typically have a diameter of only 12kmthe smallest star is the neutron star from the word "neutron"
That would be a collission between two neutron stars. Since many stars are actually double stars, this can happen now and then.
