Neutron stars and black holes are both remnants of massive stars that have undergone gravitational collapse, but they differ significantly in their properties. Neutron stars are incredibly dense objects composed primarily of neutrons, with a mass typically between 1.4 to about 3 solar masses, and they can emit radiation, such as pulsars. In contrast, black holes arise when a massive star collapses beyond a certain threshold, creating a region in space with a gravitational pull so strong that not even light can escape. While neutron stars can be detected via electromagnetic radiation, black holes are identified by their influence on surrounding matter and the detection of gravitational waves from mergers.

Do black holes and neutron stars have any connection?

Yes, both black holes and neutron stars are remnants of the death of massive stars. Neutron stars form when the core of a massive star collapses but does not produce a black hole. Black holes are formed when the core of a massive star collapses beyond the neutron star stage.

Neutron stars and black holes.


Can any black hole turn into a neutron star?

No, black holes cannot turn into neutron stars. Neutron stars form from the remnants of supernova explosions of massive stars, while black holes are formed from the gravitational collapse of massive stars. Once a black hole is formed, it will remain a black hole and will not transform into a neutron star.

Does a neutron star have an event horizon?

No. Only black holes have event horizons.


These stars are produced during a supernova event?

The stars produced during a supernova event are known as neutron stars or black holes. Neutron stars are extremely dense remnants of massive stars, while black holes are formed when the core of a massive star collapses. Both neutron stars and black holes have unique properties and play a significant role in the cosmic landscape.

Do medium size stars become black holes?

No. They do not have enough mass to become black holes. Depending on the mass they will either become white dwarfs or neutron stars.


Why are black holes formed?

black holes can be formed in a supernova explosion if the mass of the star is largeenoughusually they are created when a massive and dense star like a neutron star collapses
