What will happen to a neutron star at the end of its life?
StevenBrimfield
A neutron star is already a dead star it can produce no more energy, although massively dense it will just continue to radiate its energy out into space until there is nothing left. There is an alternative ending for a Neutron Star and that is, if it was a part of a binary system or had enough mass collect on it could collapse further to create a Black Hole.

2. It forms a black hole.

What is the relationship between a black hole and a neutron star?
Think of a black hole like the neutron star's big brother. When a star reaches the end of its life, it blows off its outer layer in a supernova and leaves behind a stellar remnant. The mass of the star, during its life, determines what is left behind by its death. For relatively low mass stars (such as our own star), the remnant is a white dwarf. Get much larger than about 1.4 times our own star's mass and you end up with a neutron star. The exact upper mass limit for neutron star formation isn't known for certain, but the estimate is something between 2 and 3 times our own star's mass. Above that, and the remnant core collapses into a black hole.
What is a low- meduim- mass star the becomes the end of its life?
White dwarf. High mass stars become neutron stars or black holes.
How do the lives of the most massive stars end?
Less massive stars end up as white dwarfs. More massive stars end up as a supernova or a neutron star or for the really massive stars...as a black hole. As a star ends its time in the main sequence it either becomes a Red Giant and end its life as a White Dwarf or becomes a White Super Giant and ends its life in an explosion (supernova) and if it's really dense it becomes a neutron star or a black hole as mentioned above.
Why will the sun never become a neutron star?
The Sun will never leave behind a stellar remnant such as a neutron star, as it does not have enough mass to achieve the massive pressures required to make one. Our Sun will end up as a white dwarf stellar remnant.
Why would a linear accelerator have no effect on a neutron?
A linear accelerator works by having a magnet at the end of the accelerator. If the particle is neutral then it will not be attracted to the magnet and therefore nothing will happen, as in the case of a neutron.
What characteristic determines if a star will end its life as a black hole or neutron star?
The mass of the star.
How large does a star need to be to end life as a neutron star?
From approximately 1.5 to 2.0 solar masses snow FAR
What might be the end point of a star with a mass larger than the sun?
It can become a white dwarf, a neutron star or a black hole, depending on the mass that remains at the end of the star's life.
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 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.
What is a small hot star that is near the end of its life called?
There are small hot stars - White dwarfs, neutron stars but by furtue that they are hot, means they are not near the end of their lives. It takes a long long time for all the residual heat to escape into the Universe. So, there are NO hot stars near the end of it's life.
Can only giant stars become black holes?
The basic requisite is that enough mass gets together. This can happen with a large star if, after it explodes as a supernova, enough residual mass remains to go beyond the limit of a white dwarf, and of a neutron star. Yet there is also another possibility: a star may end up first as a white dwarf or as a neutron star, but it may eventually receive enough infalling matter to become a black hole.The basic requisite is that enough mass gets together.

What is a low- meduim- mass star the becomes the end of its life?
White dwarf. High mass stars become neutron stars or black holes.
Can a neutron star or a pulsar become a black hole?
No, they cannot.A neutron star forms when the core of a supernova is halted by rising neutron pressure (due to the increase in the density of the core). If this central core ends up having a mass greater than three solar masses, it will end up forming a black hole instead of a neutron star. A pulsar is a type of neutron star that rotates and is highly magnetized.As such, since they are not massive enough to form a black hole in the first place, they probably won't ever become one. The only way that they could possibly become a black hole after formation is if they collide with another neutron star or black hole.
What is the life cycle of high mass?
A high-mass star will use up its fuel faster than a low-mass one. Depending on the amount of mass that remains at the end of its life, it may convert to a neutron star, or to a black hole.
