A neutron star emits most of its energy at higher frequencies.
All young neutron stars in reality are "pulsars". However, for a neutron star to be termed a pulsar, it's magnetic axis has to point towards Earth. (So we can see the pulse, even though all young neutron stars have a pulse, they cannot be observed from Earth.)
An "observatory".
The name "neutron star" some from the fact that the neutron star is mainly composed of neutrons. The gravitational pull of a neutron star is so strong that most matter are crushed into neutrons.
Neutron degeneracy pressure, in which the neutrons themselves prevents further collapse.
When we look at the night sky and see the stars we are only seeing a small part of what is actually being given off by the stars. Stars give off radio waves as well as visible light so radio telescopes are able to detect the radio waves and create maps of the sky based on their locations.
Radio telescopes detect stars known as 'Pulsars'. They're very small and also known as neutron stars.
Light from the stars they orbit makes it difficult to see them.
Some massive stars will become neutron stars. When massive stars die they will either become neutron stars or black holes depending on how much mass is left behind.
Optical telescopes.
Telescopes are used for observing stars.
Stars that become white dwarfs die but become black holes . Neutron stars are born from a Super Nova that stored its energy and became a neutron star.

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"
That would be a collission between two neutron stars. Since many stars are actually double stars, this can happen now and then.
Both white dwarfs and neutron stars are extremely dense remnants of the collapsed cores of dead stars.
There is an upper limit to the mass of neutron stars because if the neutron star is too massive, neutrons would be crushed by the gravity of the neutron star, and the neutron star would collapse into a black hole.
Neutron stars range in size from 20 to 40 kilometers (12 to24 miles) in diameter.
