A neutron star is a type of stellar remnant that results from the gravitational collapse of a massive star during a supernova.
Such stars are composed almost entirely of neutrons, which are subatomic particles without electrical charge.

What is a rapidly spinning neutron star called?
A young neutron star. Really - that is what a neutron star is. If the neutron star's magnetic field is pointed towards Earth, then it is referred to as a pulsar - because of it's rapid pulsations [See related question] but it is still a neutron star.
What remains after supernova?
A neutron star or a pulsar, or a black hole.
How does a neutron star differ from a main sequence star?
A neutron star is a stellar remnant
Is a pulsar a neutron star?
Yes. A pulsar is a rapidly spinning neutron star.
What is the temperature of the core of a neutron star?
Depends on the age of the neutron star. As a neutron star no longer has any method to produce heat, it will slowly cool over time. A young neutron star will have a core temperature of about 106 kelvin.
What is spinning neutron star called?
It is still called a neutron star. Depending on how we observe it, it may also be called a pulsar.
When a collapsed core becomes so dense only neutrons can exist there a what is formed?
A Neutron Star

What is a dead star with the density of an atomic nuclei called?
neutron star
What do you call a tiny and very hot star?
It is called 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"
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.

Why is a Neutron star called a Pulsar?
Because a pulsar is a neutron star but with it's emmision lines visible from Earth. See related questions.
