The name is a bit of a give away really. A neutron star is a lump of matter composed entirely of neutrons, thus containing a large mass (typically between 1.4 and 3.2 solar masses in a very small volume. This matter is so dense that typically one teaspoon of neutron star (5 ml) would have a mass of about 5 and a half billion tons.

What is the core of a star left over from a supernova explosion?
The core of a star left over from a supernova explosion is called a neutron star. Neutron stars are incredibly dense, composed mostly of neutrons, and have strong gravitational and magnetic fields. They can be very small in size but contain a mass greater than that of our Sun.
Will Betelgeuse become a neutron star?
After a supernova explosion in Betelgeuse it will definitely become at least a neutron star. However, because of it's mass it's more than likely to become a black hole. If it does, then it will be the closest black hole to Earth.
What is left after a supernova explosion?
Well, after a magnificent supernova explosion, we are left with either a dense core called a neutron star or, if the star was very massive, a black hole. These remnants continue to inspire the formation of new stars and galaxies in the endless beauty of our universe. Just remember, there is always something beautiful waiting to emerge after every cosmic event.
What is after super giant star?
After a supergiant star, the star can evolve into a supernova, which is a massive explosion that signals the end of the star's life. Depending on the mass of the star, it can then collapse into a neutron star or a black hole.
What are two possible results of a supernova explosion?
The core of the star can collapse to form a neutron star or a black hole. The outer layers of the star can be ejected into space, enriching the surrounding interstellar medium with heavy elements.
Will a supernova cause a black whole?
Either a black hole, or a neutron star. That depends on how much mass is left after the supernova explosion.
What is the core of a star left over from a supernova explosion?
The core of a star left over from a supernova explosion is called a neutron star. Neutron stars are incredibly dense, composed mostly of neutrons, and have strong gravitational and magnetic fields. They can be very small in size but contain a mass greater than that of our Sun.
What is the differences between super nova and neutron star?
A supernova is when a massive star explodes. A neutron star is what can be formed after a supernova explosion. See related questions
What a star may become after a supernova explosion?
Usually a neutron star, or a black hole, depending on the remaining mass.
Will a neutron star eventually go supernova?
No. A neutron star is left behind after a supernova. However, some gamma ray bursts may result from a collision between neutron stars.
What two things can a supernova become?
A supernova (plural: supernovae or supernovas) is a stellar explosion that creates an extremely luminous object.Check the link given for more information.
Where would you expect to find a pulsar?
A pulsar is a rapidly-spinning neutron star, the remains of a supernova explosion.
What does a massive supernova become?
If enough mass is left over after the supernova explosion, i.e. after material is blown off into space, the star will become a black hole. Less massive stars will become neutron stars. A neutron star can convert to a black hole later, if enough matter falls into it.
Are pulsars found in supernova remnants.?
Yes, pulsars are often found in supernova remnants. Pulsars are rapidly rotating neutron stars that emit beams of radiation, and they are formed when a massive star undergoes a supernova explosion. The remnants of the supernova provide the environment from which the pulsar originates.
Explosion of a supernova leave behind?
The explosion of a supernova leaves behind either a neutron star or a black hole, depending on the mass of the original star. Neutron stars are extremely dense, composed mostly of neutrons, while black holes are regions of space with a gravitational pull so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape from them.
What is the term for the very dense white dwarf star that is left behind after a supernova?
Neutron Star
How does a star turns into a neutron star?
A star 8 time the mass of the Sun turns into a neutron star when it run out of fuel, become a supergiant, and undergo supernova explosion. After the explosion, a core remains. If the core is less than 3 Solar masses, it becomes a neutron star, or else it becomes a black hole.
