Strong is not a term used for a neutron star.
If you mean density, then see related question.

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.
Why do some stars end up as neutron stars?
Some stars end up as neutron stars because they exploded as a supernova and leaves a dense core behind. The strong gravity of the core compresses itself until protons and electrons are crushed into neutrons, this forms a neutron star. If the core is too massive, it would collapse into a black hole.
Do massive stars become neutron stars?
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.
What is the diffrance between stars that become white dwarfs and stars that become neutron stars?
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.
What are the smallest stars?
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"
What is a neutron star collision?
That would be a collission between two neutron stars. Since many stars are actually double stars, this can happen now and then.
What do white dwarfs and neutron stars have in common?
Both white dwarfs and neutron stars are extremely dense remnants of the collapsed cores of dead stars.
Is space and time warped near the strong gravitational fields of neutron stars and black holes?
Yes. Technically all mass distorts space and time, but it only really becomes noticeable around such dense objec ts as neutron stars and black holes.
Why is there an upper limit to the mass of neutron 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.
How small are neutron stars?
Neutron stars range in size from 20 to 40 kilometers (12 to24 miles) in diameter.
Why are neutron stars so heavy?
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.
Which stars are composed of matter in which electrons have combined with protons?
Stars may collapse to such a degree, perhaps after a supernova, that, in the core, electrons are squashed into the nucleus, reacting with protons to form neutrons. A star of this collapsed state is called neutron stars.
