GENERAL KNOWLEDGE

Detailed explanation-1: -A neutron star forms when a medium-sized star reaches the end of its life and explodes as a supernova, after which it leaves an incredibly dense core behind. The name ‘neutron star’ comes from the sub-atomic particles called neutrons, which you usually find inside the nuclei of atoms.

Detailed explanation-2: -All supermassive stars-stars with an initial mass greater than about eight times that of the Sun-have the capacity to eventually become neutron stars. When a supermassive star begins to die, it forms a red supergiant. After that, these stars explode either evolve into white dwarfs, or become supernovae.

Detailed explanation-3: -Neutron stars got their name because their cores have such powerful gravity that most positively charged protons and negatively charged electrons in the interior of these stars combine into uncharged neutrons. Neutron stars produce no new heat. However, they are incredibly hot when they form and cool slowly.
