Nothing known is denser than the densest of neutron stars except a gravitational singularity (Black hole). The upper limit of the inward pressure a neutron star can handle before further implosion is dictated by neutron degeneracy pressure.

However, theoretically (Not yet observed but probably out there) the next step would be a quark star, that is, a star that is held from implosion by quark degeneracy pressure. Then the next stage would be a black hole.

Technically there is yet another stage in between a qaurk star and a singularity called preon degeneracy prssure but the preon models are too flawed to even consider.

Is a red giant star denser than a neutron star?

A neutron star is the densest object known to us. (Apart from a black hole). See related question.


Why is neutron star is denser than red giant?

Because the atoms inside the neutron star are squashed together to the point that they cannot move anymore, for example a teaspoon of neutron is about 90,000,000 tonnes. So basicly pretty much anything in the universe isn't as dense as that. hope this helps.


What is a Very small hot star?

Both white dwarfs and neutron stars match the description. Neutron stars are smaller, hotter, and denser.


What 2 things can happen to a star after a supernova?

It can either become a neutron star or a black hole. If the star is between 8 and 15 solar masses, it will become an incredibly dense neutron star. If it is more than 15 solar masses, it will collapse and become an even denser black hole.


What is a small hot very dense star?

Both white dwarfs and neutron stars match the description. Neutron stars are smaller, hotter, and denser.


What is the densest object in the universe and how does its density compare to other celestial bodies?

The densest object in the universe is a neutron star. Neutron stars are incredibly dense, with a mass greater than that of the Sun packed into a sphere only about 12 miles in diameter. Their density is so high that a teaspoon of neutron star material would weigh billions of tons on Earth. Compared to other celestial bodies, neutron stars are much denser than planets, stars, and even black holes.


Is the density of a neutron star about the same density as a white dwarf?

No, the density of a neutron star is much higher than that of a white dwarf. Neutron stars are composed mostly of densely packed neutrons, while white dwarfs are made of electron-degenerate matter. Neutron stars are some of the densest objects in the universe.


Why do you think some smaller planet are heavier than the bigger ones?

They are much denser. it's the same with stars and neutron stars. Neutron stars are many times smaller than the original star but much heavier because they are so denser


Is a neutron star bigger than a planet?

Yes, a neutron star is much more massive and denser than a planet. Neutron stars are formed from the remnants of massive stars and are typically only a few kilometers in diameter, while planets can be thousands of kilometers in size.


How are black hole different from neutron star?

A neutron star is an extremely dense object in which atoms have been crushed by gravity, causing electrons and protons to merge into neutrons. A force known as neutron degeneracy pressure prevents it from collapsing further. The neutron star can emit light and other forms of radiation. A black hole is an object that has completely collapsed under the force of gravity, with all mass coming to a single point called a singularity. The gravity is so strong that, within a certain radius nothing, not even light, can escape.


What does a dead star look like?

A dead star can take the form of a white dwarf, neutron star, or black hole. White dwarfs are small, dense remnants of sun-like stars, neutron stars are even denser and can spin rapidly, while black holes have such strong gravity that nothing, not even light, can escape from them. These objects may not emit visible light but can be detected through other means such as X-rays or gravitational waves.


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

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.
