The name is a bit of a give away really. A neutron star is a lump of matter composed entirely of neutrons, thus containing a large mass (typically between 1.4 and 3.2 solar masses in a very small volume. This matter is so dense that typically one teaspoon of neutron star (5 ml) would have a mass of about 5 and a half billion tons.
No. A neutron star is left behind after a supernova. However, some gamma ray bursts may result from a collision between neutron stars.
Yes, the first neutron star was observed in a supernova remnant. The object, named PSR B1919+21, was discovered in 1967 in the Crab Nebula, the remnant of a supernova that exploded in the year 1054 AD.
neutron star has been observed at the center of a supernova remnant, known as the Crab Nebula. This neutron star, also called a pulsar, spins rapidly, emitting beams of radiation that are observed as pulses by astronomers.
A supernova happens when most of the core of the collapsing star has become neutrons, held up against gravity by neutron degeneracy pressure. At this point a shockwave reflects from the neutron star surface, driving the supernova explosion.So the answer to your question is neutrons.

A supernova is when a massive star explodes. A neutron star is what can be formed after a supernova explosion. See related questions

The supernova remnant will either be a neutron star or a black hole.

Depending on the mass of the original star, it is either a black hole or a neutron star.
