Nothing known is denser than the densest of neutron stars except a gravitational singularity (Black hole). The upper limit of the inward pressure a neutron star can handle before further implosion is dictated by neutron degeneracy pressure.
However, theoretically (Not yet observed but probably out there) the next step would be a quark star, that is, a star that is held from implosion by quark degeneracy pressure. Then the next stage would be a black hole.
Technically there is yet another stage in between a qaurk star and a singularity called preon degeneracy prssure but the preon models are too flawed to even consider.

What is a small hot very dense star?
Both white dwarfs and neutron stars match the description. Neutron stars are smaller, hotter, and denser.
What is the average density of a neutron star that has the same mass as the sun?
An object of one solar mass cannot become a neutron star.
Why do you think some smaller planet are heavier than the bigger ones?
They are much denser. it's the same with stars and neutron stars. Neutron stars are many times smaller than the original star but much heavier because they are so denser
Does a neutron star have gravity?
The most immense gravity for it's size of any single object in the universe. If it had been a slightly larger star before it went supernova and wound up as a neutron star, it would have collapsed into a black hole - where not even light could escape it's gravity.
Is the density of a pulsar greater than the density of a neutron star?
No. A black hole is in some ways just a very compact neutron star; if a normal neutron star was able to implode that far, it would have done so and become a black hole already. There is a simple law of physics called the Pauli Exclusion Principle which states that no two neutrons can occupy the same quantum state simultaneously this prevents further collapse of neutron stars.
Is a red giant star denser than a neutron star?
A neutron star is the densest object known to us. (Apart from a black hole). See related question.
Is the density of a neutron star about the same density as a white dwarf?
No. A neutron star is many times denser than a white dwarf.
Why is neutron star is denser than red giant?
Because the atoms inside the neutron star are squashed together to the point that they cannot move anymore, for example a teaspoon of neutron is about 90,000,000 tonnes. So basicly pretty much anything in the universe isn't as dense as that. hope this helps.
What 2 things can happen to a star after a supernova?
It can either become a neutron star or a black hole. If the star is between 8 and 15 solar masses, it will become an incredibly dense neutron star. If it is more than 15 solar masses, it will collapse and become an even denser black hole.
What is a Very small hot star?
Both white dwarfs and neutron stars match the description. Neutron stars are smaller, hotter, and denser.

How are black hole different from neutron star?
A neutron star is an extremely dense object in which atoms have been crushed by gravity, causing electrons and protons to merge into neutrons. A force known as neutron degeneracy pressure prevents it from collapsing further. The neutron star can emit light and other forms of radiation. A black hole is an object that has completely collapsed under the force of gravity, with all mass coming to a single point called a singularity. The gravity is so strong that, within a certain radius nothing, not even light, can escape.

Will our sun end up like a neutron star?
No, our sun won't end up like a neutron star. When our sun dies it will leave behind a remnant called a white dwarf, a very dense object but far less dense than a neutron star.
