What Are Neutron Stars?

Показать описание
Neutron stars are the ultra-dense cores left behind after a massive star comes to the end of its life and explodes. The star's outer layers are blasted away in that explosion, but material left at the center of the star collapses in on itself.

The mysterious afterlife of stelar giants

Someone in the comments asked what determines whether a star becomes a neutron star or a blackhole when it dies.  The determining factor is the mass of the star which is undergoing such an event.  Our sun will become  a white dwarf when it dies.  Stars between 1.4 and 3 times the mass of our sun will become neutron stars.  Stars greater than 3 times the mass of our sun will become black holes.
