A neutron star may be considered "already dead"; it has stopped producing energy. A neutron star will gradually get dimmer, as it cools down. If it gathers enough mass from its surroundings, it may turn into a black hole.

What else can I help you with?
Could a neutron star break due to a collision?
A neutron star is so dense, that apart from a direct collision from another neutron star, the chances are slim to impossible.
How did neutron stars get its name?
The name "neutron star" some from the fact that the neutron star is mainly composed of neutrons. The gravitational pull of a neutron star is so strong that most matter are crushed into neutrons.
Is a neutron star a young star or an old star?
neutron star is a stellar remnant so it is neither a young star nor an old star . It is formed by the gravitational collapse of massive star and are composed of neutrons . neutron star has a mass in between 1.35 to 2 solar masses

When a collapsed core becomes so dense only neutrons can exist there a what is formed?
A Neutron Star
What is a good ratio example of an average neutron star to our sun?
A typical neutron star has a diameter of about 24km our Sun has a diameter of 1.392×106 km So our Sun is about 58,000 times bigger than a neutron star.
Can Neutron stars turn back into a normal star and if so how?
No. The mass of a neutron star is so compact and the gravity so high that it could never again become a regular star. Besides, neutron stars come from the cores of stars that have already gone nova. All the hydrogen was already fused into heavier elements.
What would happen if a neutron star collided with earth?
It is extremely unlikely that a neutron star (or any star or planet) will collide with the Earth, so this is not something that you need to worry about, however, if a neutron star were to collide with the Earth, the Earth would be captured by the intense gravitational field of the neutron star, and would be absorbed by the star. Under sufficient pressure, electrons and protons will merge to form neutrons, and so the atomic matter of which the Earth is composed can be converted into pure neutrons.
Why do neutron stars rotate so much more rapidly than ordinary stars?
Neutron stars rotate rapidly due to their conservation of angular momentum. When a massive star collapses into a neutron star, its core spins faster as it contracts. Since angular momentum is conserved, the neutron star continues to rotate rapidly as a remnant of the collapsed star.
What would happen to a neutron star with an accretion disk orbiting in a direction opposite to the neutron star's spin?
The neutron star so affected wouldn't really notice. The mass of the neutron star is huge compared to that of the material in the accretion disk. And that matter, when it falls in, wouldn't really "slow" the spin of the star much unless there was a gigantic quantity of matter falling in and/or it acted over a very long period.
What is the for the tiny very dense white dwarf star that is left behind after a supernova?
Neutron Star
What is a star in which only neutrons can exitst in its core?
A neutron star is a celestial object that consists almost entirely of neutrons, packed closely together in its core. Neutron stars are incredibly dense and form when a massive star collapses in a supernova explosion. The gravitational force of a neutron star is so strong that it can overcome the electron degeneracy pressure and collapse protons and electrons into neutrons.
