a pulsar
A star that has collapsed under gravity and is made of neutrons is called a neutron star. Neutron stars are extremely dense and have a strong gravitational pull due to the collapsed core of a massive star. They are the remnants of supernova explosions.
Most likely it would be a "white dwarf". They are composed mainly of carbon and oxygen in an extremely dense form, called "electron degenerate matter".
When a planetary nebula dissipates, what remains is the core of the star that has shed its outer layers. This core, known as a white dwarf, is extremely dense and hot, gradually cooling over billions of years. The planetary nebula itself, which is the glowing gas and dust expelled by the dying star, eventually disperses into space.
A Neutron Star
The description matches that of a neutron star, which is formed after a supernova explosion of a massive star. Neutron stars are incredibly dense, with matter packed tightly together. Due to their high gravitational pull, a small amount of neutron star material would have an extremely high mass.
no, its a massive compression of a star under its own gravity. it then turns into an extremely dense star called a red dwarf.

As it ages it will get bigger and bigger until it is a red giant. In the final dying stages it will eject massive amounts of gas and particles in a planetary nebula, leaving behind a hot dense star called a white dwarf.

A cooled white dwarf is a black dwarf. I think you are thinking of a neutron star which has nothing to do with a white dwarf.

Dying stars eventually shrink into white dwarfs (which as they age eventually become red dwarfs and then brown dwarfs - but this takes an extremely long time).
"Small but very dense" sounds like the description of a neutron star or "collapsed matter star". Theoretically, a black hole (the only thing more dense) has no physical size at all. So, "neutron star". If the neutron star is spinning rapidly, they are called "pulsars" for the radio-wave pulses that they generate.
The dense gaseous nebulae where star formation occurs are called "stellar nurseries." A star may begin to coalesce due to gravitational disturbances that compress the gases of the nebula.
Yes, eventually they all burn out. Stars with less than three solar masses will become a neutron star. These are extremely, extremely dense forms. Any larger and the star will become a black hole after going supernova.
