A neutron star is a type of stellar remnant that results from the gravitational collapse of a massive star during a supernova.

Such stars are composed almost entirely of neutrons, which are subatomic particles without electrical charge.

It is still called a neutron star. Depending on how we observe it, it may also be called a pulsar.


What is A rapidly spinning neutron is called?

A young neutron star. Really - that is what a neutron star is. If the neutron star's magnetic field is pointed towards Earth, then it is referred to as a pulsar - because of it's rapid pulsations [See related question] but it is still a neutron star.

Because a pulsar is a neutron star but with it's emmision lines visible from Earth. See related questions.


What is a dead star with the density of an atomic nuclei called?

A dead star with the density of an atomic nuclei is called a neutron star. Neutron stars are incredibly dense and are composed mostly of tightly packed neutrons. They form when massive stars explode in a supernova and their cores collapse under gravity.

What is the core of a star called if it is crushed in to a small but very dense object?

"Small but very dense" sounds like the description of a neutron star or "collapsed matter star". Theoretically, a black hole (the only thing more dense) has no physical size at all. So, "neutron star". If the neutron star is spinning rapidly, they are called "pulsars" for the radio-wave pulses that they generate.
