• Gravitational collapseBroader topic: Some collapsing stellar cores settle into neutron stars instead of continuing to a black hole.

• Stellar massRelated: The remnant mass after a supernova can leave a neutron star.

• Electron degeneracy pressureCompared with: Its support involves neutron degeneracy and nuclear interactions rather than electron degeneracy alone.

• Gravitational binding energyRelated: Its extreme compactness gives it exceptionally large gravitational binding energy per unit mass.

• Nuclear forceBroader topic: The nuclear equation of state, shaped by nucleon forces, helps determine its structure.

• Massive starBroader topic: A successful core-collapse explosion can leave the collapsed core as a neutron star.

• Neutron star mergerNarrower topic: The merger’s participants are neutron stars with immense density and strong gravity.

• SN 1987ARelated: Whether SN 1987A left a neutron star was long uncertain; evidence for a compact remnant has since emerged.

• X-ray binaryBroader topic: It is one of the two compact-object types that power X-ray binaries.

• Nuclear drip lineRelated: Drip-line physics informs models of matter at densities approaching those inside neutron stars.

• R-processBroader topic: Neutron-star matter supplies the extreme neutron richness required in merger ejecta.

• Chandrasekhar limitCompared with: Collapse beyond white-dwarf support can lead toward a neutron-star remnant.

• Jocelyn Bell BurnellNarrower topic: The first pulsars were identified as rotating neutron stars, explaining their brief, powerful radio pulses.

• Fermi gasRelated: Neutron matter provides a high-density setting for Fermi-gas reasoning.

• Fritz ZwickyRelated: Zwicky proposed that supernova explosions could produce neutron stars.

• Cygnus X-1Compared with: Neutron stars can also power X-ray binaries, but have surfaces and distinct emission signatures.

• StarBroader topic: The collapsed core of a massive star can become a neutron star.

• MagnetarNarrower topic: Magnetars are neutron stars distinguished by their unusually strong magnetic fields.
