What is a neutron star?

neutron star is a stellar residue-more-compressed object left when stars with a matter between 1.4 and about 3 times the weight of our sun exhaust nuclear fuel and collapse in. The result is a condensed mass of a matter of about 20 km (12 miles) across, while the gravitational field of approximately 2 x 10^11 times stronger than the ground. Because they are electrically neutral, such particles can be packed very closely together, resulting in a celestial object with a similar density to the density as the atomic core. The highest "mountains" on such a star measure in millimeters (fragments of the thumb) rather than kilometers (stop). Because the speed of stars rotation accelerates as it collapses, a huge angular speed can be achieved, 30,000 km/s (18,640 miles/s) or one rotation of each millisecond or two. When these rapidly rotating stars emit electromagnetic radiation that can be detected on the ground, they are accepted in continuous pulses, which evokes the name "Pulsar".

made up of the core of the expired suns, a neutron star is home to exotic forms of matter that are not found in space anywhere: cores composed of a huge number of neutrons without orbital electrons, free neutrons hovering in SuperDense "neutronium" soup, and perhaps exotic form such as Pions or Kaons. These are particles composed of unusual configurations or types of quarks, components of subatomical particles. Because the conventil atomic forms of matter would be torn into pieces with immense gravity and pressure of a neutron star, we may never be able to perform experiments or observation of these objects directly. The primary types of neutron stars include the X -ray Burster , Pulsar and Magnetar .
