The name is a bit of a give away really. A neutron star is a lump of matter composed entirely of neutrons, thus containing a large mass (typically between 1.4 and 3.2 solar masses in a very small volume. This matter is so dense that typically one teaspoon of neutron star (5 ml) would have a mass of about 5 and a half billion tons.

What are two possible results of a supernova explosion?
A neutron star or a black hole.
Small dense star that remains after a red giant?
"Stellar masses" is not a unit of mass - perhaps you mean "solar masses". Depending on the remaining mass - after the supernova explosion - either a neutron star or a black hole. In the case of four stellar masses, probably a neutron star; it would require a more massive star than that to become a black hole.
Possibly the most cataclysmic event associated with the death of a star is the?
For a star that is 10x or more the size of our sun? Supernova explosion, followed by the implosion of the star, forming a neutron star. For a star that is 50x or more the size of our sun? Supernova explosion followed by the implosion of the star, crushing down extremely small, forming a black hole. For a star that is 100x or more the size of our sun? Supernova explosion followed by the implosion of the star, crushing down extremely small, forming a supermassive black hole
What is the term for the tiny and very dense white dwarf star that is left behind after a supernova?
I think that's a pulsar.
What neutron star is smaller than white dwarfs are thought to be remnants of .?
A neutron star is the remnant of a star, which - at the end of its life, and AFTER possibly losing a lot of mass (for instance, in a supernova explosion) has a remaining mass that is greater than the so-called Chandrasekhar limit.
Will a supernova cause a black whole?
Either a black hole, or a neutron star. That depends on how much mass is left after the supernova explosion.
What is the differences between super nova and neutron star?
A supernova is when a massive star explodes. A neutron star is what can be formed after a supernova explosion. See related questions
What are two possible results of a supernova explosion?
A neutron star or a black hole.
IS a supernova a celestial body?
No, a supernova is an explosion of a star. What left of a supernova are celestial bodies.
What comes before a cell?
A supernova comes before a neutron star. After an aging star undergo supernova explosion, the remaining core of the star becomes a neutron star or a black hole, depending on its mass.
What a star may become after a supernova explosion?
Usually a neutron star, or a black hole, depending on the remaining mass.
Will a neutron star eventually go supernova?
No. A neutron star is left behind after a supernova. However, some gamma ray bursts may result from a collision between neutron stars.
Explosion of a supernova leave behind?
A neutron star, or a black hole. Which it is, depends on the mass that remains after the supernova explosion. Above a certain mass limit, a black hole will form.
Where would you expect to find a pulsar?
A pulsar is a rapidly-spinning neutron star, the remains of a supernova explosion.
What does a massive supernova become?
If enough mass is left over after the supernova explosion, i.e. after material is blown off into space, the star will become a black hole. Less massive stars will become neutron stars. A neutron star can convert to a black hole later, if enough matter falls into it.
How does a star turns into a neutron star?
A star 8 time the mass of the Sun turns into a neutron star when it run out of fuel, become a supergiant, and undergo supernova explosion. After the explosion, a core remains. If the core is less than 3 Solar masses, it becomes a neutron star, or else it becomes a black hole.
What is the term for the very dense white dwarf star that is left behind after a supernova?
