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.

∙ 13y agoThe final stage of hydrogen fusion inside a star can result in two different outcomes. If the star that the fusion of hydrogen is relatively small, such as our own star, then at the time when the star has fused all of it's hydrogen then it will simply collapse on itself, producing a white dwarf, which still radiates small amounts of energy. Or if it is a massive star, much larger than our own, then once the star has fused all of it's hydrogen it will be left with the element helium, but this star is hot enough to start fusing the helium as well, and as it fuses the helium it produces heavier and heavier elements until it is left with iron, which cannot be fused. When this happens the star collapses on itself extremely quickly producing a supernova, spewing all of the elements inside it that were being fused such as iron. And what is left after the supernova is either a black hole or a neutron star, depending on the mass of the star.

Is strontium produced by nuclear fusion?
No Strontium is produced by nuclear fission not fusion.
The process in which the sun produces energy is known as what?
Nuclear fusion, hydrogen burns and the energy gets turned into mass
Which stars do not have nuclear fusion occurring in their core?
All stars "burn" by the process of nuclear fusion. When fusion has been completed, the star dies. That can occur in several different ways and the interested party could look into the topic of stellar evolution. Neutron stars, black holes and white dwarfs are examples of end stages of stellar evolution. Some stars never really reach the stage of fusion and such large objects are called brown dwarfs. If Jupiter were not a planet, it might be deemed a brown dwarf.
What was the name of doc's nuclear reactor in back to the future?
Mr. Fusion
What two names are given to the sun 's energy?
nuclear fusion
What country is the prime user of nuclear fusion power?
No country in the world using nuclear fusion power on commercial or even demonstration scale. This approach is still in the research stage.
A reaction in combining smaller atomic nuclei is?
nuclear fusion
What process produces the largest amount of energy given off by stars?
Nuclear Fusion
Is nuclear fusion experimental?
Fusion power is definitely still in the experimental stage; so far it takes more energy to get the fuel to fuse in a controlled way than is liberated by the fusion.
Is fusion chemical nuclear or mechanical?
Fusion is a nuclear reaction.
The process of combining two small nuclei into one nucleus of larger mass is called?
Combining two atomic nuclei is called nuclear fusion.
Is nuclear chain reaction is called fusion?
The idea of nuclear fusion occurring at room temperature is called cold fusion.
Is fusion nuclear energy or chemical energy?
Nuclear fusion produces nuclear energy
What is combining nuclei of atoms to produce energy called?
That would be nuclear fusion, like what happens in stars, when two hydrogen nuclei combine to form a helium nucleus.
What causes lesser pollution - nuclear fission or fusion?
Nuclear fusion
How do nuclear fusion differ fundamentally from nuclear fission?
Nuclear fusion doesn't produce energy.
Which term is used to indicate the process in which two small atomic nuclei emerge from a larger one?
nuclear fusion
