What is a star?
A neutron star is a major remainder a super thin object left over when stars with a mass between 1.4 and about 3 times the mass of our Sun exhaust their nuclear fuel and collapse inwards. The density of a neutron star is so great that the protons and electrons making up the atoms fuse to form electrically neutral neutrons, the primary particles making up the neutron star. The primary types of neutron stars include the x-ray burster , pulsar, and magnetar.
The neutron star is a foreign astronomical object whose universe was guessed by theory 35 years before one was really came upon in 1968. Formed from the core of expired suns, the neutron star is home to exotic forms of matter determined nowhere else in the universe: Nuclei composed of huge amounts of neutrons with no orbiting electrons, free neutrons floating in a superdense “neutronium” soup, and possibly exotic forms of matter such as pions or kaons.
