Summary
[edit]| Description | A neutron star is the dense, core remains of an exploded star at least 8 times more massive than the Sun. The neutron star contains about a Sun's worth of mass packed in a sphere no larger than Toronto. In binary (double) star systems, gas from the companion star can funnel towards the neutron star, attracted by the neutron star's strong gravity. (In image, the blue sphere represents the binary companion, and gas can be seen funneling toward the much smaller neutron star, which is embedded deep within the red accretion disk.) | |||||
