Solution

Dear student,

Neutron star is a celestial object with minute radius (typically 30 km) and large density composed predominantly of closely packed neutron. Neutron stars are results of the gravitational collapse of the remaining of a massive star after a supernova explosion provided that the star is insufficiently massive to produce a black hole.

Regards.
