What is the process that creates a neutron star?

Answer 1

the only reason a star stays 'alive' is because it creates enough outward force from nuclear fusion to fight off the force of gravity. when a star runs out of fuel, the main and first option being hydrogen, the easiest to use, to create power, it has two options. the star has to try to fuse helium which is a lot harder to do, and requires a lot more heat to do, then beryllium and so on up to carbon which a star cannot fuse. then, when the star runs out of fuel that it can burn, gravity pushes all of the solar mass to the core. this is how a supernova is started. if the core manages to handle the pressure, it turns into a white dwarf star, if the core collapses, then it turns into a spacial anomaly known as a black hole. the outcome is a result of the amount of solar mass.

Answer 2

A neutron star is what is left behind from some supernovas, which occur when a massive star explodes.

Answer 3

A neutron star was formed from the core remains of an exploded star. The core would shrink and crush most matter inside, creating neutrons in the neutron star.
