A neutron star is already a dead star it can produce no more energy, although massively dense it will just continue to radiate its energy out into space until there is nothing left. There is an alternative ending for a Neutron Star and that is, if it was a part of a binary system or had enough mass collect on it could collapse further to create a Black Hole.
What else can I help you with?
When or where does the dead star happen?
"Dead star" is a term used to describe various astronomical phenomena related to dying stars, such as white dwarfs, neutron stars, or black holes. These occur as stars reach the end of their life cycle and can be found throughout the universe.
What is the relationship between a black hole and a neutron star?
Think of a black hole like the neutron star's big brother. When a star reaches the end of its life, it blows off its outer layer in a supernova and leaves behind a stellar remnant. The mass of the star, during its life, determines what is left behind by its death. For relatively low mass stars (such as our own star), the remnant is a white dwarf. Get much larger than about 1.4 times our own star's mass and you end up with a neutron star. The exact upper mass limit for neutron star formation isn't known for certain, but the estimate is something between 2 and 3 times our own star's mass. Above that, and the remnant core collapses into a black hole.
What are the two possible object that are left behind by a high mass star at the end of its life cycle?
At the end of its life cycle, a high mass star can leave behind either a neutron star or a black hole. If the remaining core has a mass between about 1.4 and 3 solar masses, it typically collapses into a neutron star, which is incredibly dense and composed mostly of neutrons. If the core's mass exceeds approximately 3 solar masses, it collapses further into a black hole, where gravity is so strong that not even light can escape its grasp.
What is a low- meduim- mass star the becomes the end of its life?
A low to medium-mass star eventually evolves into a red giant as it runs out of fuel in its core. After shedding its outer layers, the star will collapse into a white dwarf, which is the end stage of its life cycle.
The super-nova is what stage in the life of a star?
The death stage. It explodes and either collapses into a neutron star or collapses even more into a black hole in space.
What characteristic determines if a star will end its life as a black hole or neutron star?
The mass of the star.
How large does a star need to be to end life as a neutron star?
From approximately 1.5 to 2.0 solar masses snow FAR
What might be the end point of a star with a mass larger than the sun?
It can become a white dwarf, a neutron star or a black hole, depending on the mass that remains at the end of the star's life.
What is after super giant star?
After a supergiant star, the star can evolve into a supernova, which is a massive explosion that signals the end of the star's life. Depending on the mass of the star, it can then collapse into a neutron star or a black hole.

What neutron star is smaller than white dwarfs are thought to be remnants of .?
A neutron star is the remnant of a star, which - at the end of its life, and AFTER possibly losing a lot of mass (for instance, in a supernova explosion) has a remaining mass that is greater than the so-called Chandrasekhar limit.
Can only giant stars become black holes?
The basic requisite is that enough mass gets together. This can happen with a large star if, after it explodes as a supernova, enough residual mass remains to go beyond the limit of a white dwarf, and of a neutron star. Yet there is also another possibility: a star may end up first as a white dwarf or as a neutron star, but it may eventually receive enough infalling matter to become a black hole.The basic requisite is that enough mass gets together.

What is a small hot star that is near the end of its life called?
There are small hot stars - White dwarfs, neutron stars but by furtue that they are hot, means they are not near the end of their lives. It takes a long long time for all the residual heat to escape into the Universe. So, there are NO hot stars near the end of it's life.

Will Betelgeuse become a neutron star?
After a supernova explosion in Betelgeuse it will definitely become at least a neutron star. However, because of it's mass it's more than likely to become a black hole. If it does, then it will be the closest black hole to Earth.
Can a neutron star or a pulsar become a black hole?
No, they cannot.A neutron star forms when the core of a supernova is halted by rising neutron pressure (due to the increase in the density of the core). If this central core ends up having a mass greater than three solar masses, it will end up forming a black hole instead of a neutron star. A pulsar is a type of neutron star that rotates and is highly magnetized.As such, since they are not massive enough to form a black hole in the first place, they probably won't ever become one. The only way that they could possibly become a black hole after formation is if they collide with another neutron star or black hole.
What star is at the end of its life cycle?
A red giant star is typically at the end of its life cycle. After exhausting its nuclear fuel, it expands and cools, becoming larger and brighter. Eventually, it may shed its outer layers, creating a planetary nebula, while the core remains and becomes a white dwarf. If the star is massive enough, it could instead end its life in a supernova explosion, leaving behind a neutron star or black hole.
