Neutron stars are created when a massive star runs out of hydrogen to burn and become a supergiant. The supergiant will then explode and only leaves a core and a nebula. The dense core will then become a neutron star or a black hole.

What is degenerate matter?

Degenerate matter is extremely dense matter with characteristics governed by quantum mechanics. One of the notable traits is that temperature and pressure are independent of one another. Two forms of matter known to exist are electron degenerate matter, which comprises white dwarfs, and neutron degenerate matter, which comprises neutron stars.


What is neutron degenerate state of matter?

Neutron degenerate matter is a state of matter that occurs in extremely dense environments, such as the cores of neutron stars. In this state, neutrons are packed closely together, and the pressure is so high that the neutrons are forced into a degenerate state, where quantum mechanical effects dominate. This prevents further collapse under gravity due to the Pauli exclusion principle, which states that no two fermions (like neutrons) can occupy the same quantum state. Consequently, neutron degenerate matter exhibits unique properties and is a critical component in the study of stellar evolution and supernova phenomena.


What is a degenerate star that is spinning called?

ANY star will spin; you can't avoid it from having SOME spin.A "degenerate star" would probably refer to one that is made up of degenerate matter. That can either be a white dwarf, or a neutron star.


What is a star made up of neutrons?

We think that they are made of free particles and the cores may be composed of neutron degenerate matter. But we don't know for sure and it's fairly complicated. You can look up neutron stars on wikipedia for a better answer.

At what state would matter be incompressible?

degenerate matter would be incompressible. This would not be ordinarily met with, but is considered to be the material of a neutron star. Where, upon the collapse of a giant star, the gravitational forces would collapse all the neutron matter to a solid. Fond subject of sci-fi writers, e.g. Larry Niven (I think) wrote a story with the title Neutron Star, which will give a rough guide to the supposed physics.

Is the density of a neutron star about the same density as a white dwarf?

No, the density of a neutron star is much higher than that of a white dwarf. Neutron stars are composed mostly of densely packed neutrons, while white dwarfs are made of electron-degenerate matter. Neutron stars are some of the densest objects in the universe.

Does a neutron star heat or cool?

A neutron star is a degenerate star, it's initial heat will dissipate into outer space and thus it will cool over time.


What does a neutron star consist of?

A neutron star is primarily composed of densely packed neutrons, which are subatomic particles that carry no electric charge. Formed from the remnants of a supernova explosion, these stars have an incredibly high density, with a mass greater than that of the Sun compressed into a sphere roughly 20 kilometers in diameter. The intense gravitational forces in a neutron star prevent the neutrons from decaying, resulting in a unique state of matter known as "neutron-degenerate matter." Additionally, a neutron star may have a thin outer crust of atomic nuclei and electrons.


What is formed after a neutron star?

By after, I assume you mean the neutron star's mass being high enough for gravity to overcome neutron degeneracy pressure. The direct next step is (theoretically) a quark star, which is a stellar remnant composed of mostly quark degenerate matter exerting an outward force, halting collapse. However, none have been discovered to date.
