Nuetron+Stars+2A

They are supposed to be formed after a supernova occurs.

Small star, that is extremley dense.

Start out big, 8 times bigger than sun.

Undergoes a supernova, after that occurs, the core of the star is compressed. Gravity is so strong that the cores protons and electrons fuse to make neutrons.

Over 1000 neutron stars in the universe.

Neutron stars are known to be very small, can be like 10-20 km in diameter.



Although it is extremeley small, it is possible for a neutron stars mass to be five times bigger.

Typically found in binary systems.

A binary system is when two stars revolve around a mass. Typically one of the stars, is collapsed. The space between the two stars is so small, that the normal star begins to transferrin matter to the collapsed neutron star. This gives off X rays.

Last stage of Star, results after a supernova.
