Is the density of a pulsar greater than the density of a neutron star?

Answer 1

No. A black hole is in some ways just a very compact neutron star; if a normal neutron star was able to implode that far, it would have done so and become a black hole already.

There is a simple law of physics called the Pauli Exclusion Principle which states that no two neutrons can occupy the same quantum state simultaneously this prevents further collapse of neutron stars.

Answer 2

A Neutron Star is an incredibly dense structure left over from the collapse of a large star of between around 1.35 and 2 solar masses (1 solar mass equal to our suns mass). The escape velocity for a neutron star is around a third of the speed of light, so although it has a huge gravitational effect, light can still escape its surface, so it can be seen. A black hole is a remnant from the collapse of a much heavier star, of over ten solar masses.

Answer 3

Yes, the density of a pulsar is generally higher than that of a typical neutron star. Pulsars are a type of neutron star that emit beams of radiation, often resulting from rapid rotation, making them more compact and dense compared to other neutron stars.

Answer 4

No, if the Neutron Star were to get any denser, it would turn into a Black Hole.

Answer 5

The densities will be the same. A pulsar and a neutron star are basically the same thing.

Answer 6

Yes. Black holes are the #1 massive object in space and because of that, nothing, not even light, can escape once caught in a black hole's path

Answer 7

Yes. A neutron stars is many orders of magnitude denser than anything you will find on Earth.
