A neutron star no longer produces energy - it is a dead star. It will gradually get colder, until it stops emitting any significant amount of heat. Any heat the neutron star radiates is residual heat - heat that was produced earlier, either through fusion, or through the tremendous gravitational collaps that produced the neutron star.
What else can I help you with?
Are all neutron stars also pulsars?
No, not all neutron stars are pulsars. Pulsars are neutron stars that emit beams of radiation that are detectable from Earth as rapid pulses of light. While many neutron stars are pulsars, not all neutron stars exhibit this pulsing behavior.
What do white dwarfs and neutron stars have in common?
Both white dwarfs and neutron stars are extremely dense remnants of the collapsed cores of dead stars.
Which star is larger neutron star or subgiant star?
A subgiant star is larger than a neutron star. Neutron stars are incredibly dense and compact remnants of massive stars, while subgiant stars are in a transitional phase between main sequence and red giant stages, typically larger and more diffuse than neutron stars.
Why are neutron stars so heavy?
Neutron stars are so heavy because they are the compact core of a star that is 8 time the mass of our Sun. The most massive neutron stars possible are 3 times the mass of our Sun.
How many moons are around a neutron star?
There are no moons around a neutron star. A large, spherical body orbiting a neutron star would be considered a planet.
Do massive stars become neutron stars?
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.
What where do you get plutonium?
Plutonium applications: - fuel for nuclear reactors - explosive for nuclear weapons - neutron source - isotopic power source - isotopic heat source - in the past, power source for pacemakers
What are the internal heat source?
Internal heat source include celestial objects, such as moons, dwarf planets, brown dwarfs, stars and planets.
What elements can be used as a neutron source?
the element that can be used as a neutron source is beryllium
What is the diffrance between stars that become white dwarfs and stars that become neutron 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.
Are all neutron stars also pulsars?
No, not all neutron stars are pulsars. Pulsars are neutron stars that emit beams of radiation that are detectable from Earth as rapid pulses of light. While many neutron stars are pulsars, not all neutron stars exhibit this pulsing behavior.
How do they used plutonium in business?
Plutonium applications: - fuel for nuclear reactors - explosive for nuclear weapons - neutron source - isotopic power source - isotopic heat source - in the past, power source for pacemakers
What do white dwarfs and neutron stars have in common?
Both white dwarfs and neutron stars are extremely dense remnants of the collapsed cores of dead stars.
What is a neutron star collision?
That would be a collission between two neutron stars. Since many stars are actually double stars, this can happen now and then.
Is californium valuable?
Some applications of californium: - neutron source as Cf-Be source - neutron source for neutron activation analysis (portable installations) - neutron radiography - irradiation for some cancers treatment - nuclear fuel rod scanning - neutron source to detect water, petroleum, metals, methane etc.
How small are neutron stars?
Neutron stars range in size from 20 to 40 kilometers (12 to24 miles) in diameter.
What is californium used for?
Some applications of californium: - neutron source as Cf-Be source - neutron source for neutron activation analysis (portable installations) - neutron radiography - irradiation for some cancers treatment - nuclear fuel rod scanning - neutron source to detect water, petroleum, metals, methane etc.
