A neutron star is a degenerate star, it's initial heat will dissipate into outer space and thus it will cool over time.

What is a neutron stars' source of heat?

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.


What is the temperature of the core of a neutron star?

Depends on the age of the neutron star. As a neutron star no longer has any method to produce heat, it will slowly cool over time. A young neutron star will have a core temperature of about 106 kelvin.


How hot is a neutron star?

According to the Wikipedia, a newly formed neutron star would have a temperature of 1011 - 1012 Kelvin, but after a year, it will cool down to 106 (a million) Kelvin, due to the large number of neutrinos it emits.


How can one create a neutron star?

A neutron star is created when a massive star collapses under its own gravity during a supernova explosion. The intense pressure and heat cause protons and electrons to combine, forming neutrons. This results in a dense core of neutrons, which is the neutron star.


How long does a neutron star last after a supernova?

Nobody knows for sure, but billions of years. It would also depend on when the neutron star, no longer becomes a star. Is it when it stops radiating heat, or x-rays? The star or the remains will continue to be a physical property but will no longer radiate any energy.
