The 69 pages that link to Neutron star, each with the reason it gives.

• Degenerate matterBroader topic: Its interior may contain neutron-degenerate matter, with pressure modified by nuclear forces.

• Quark starCompared with: It is the standard comparison: quark stars would contain deconfined matter at greater density.

• Bondi accretionRelated: Its gravity can capture surrounding gas, while its surface and magnetic field add physics absent from the basic model.

• HypernucleusRelated: Hypernuclear interactions help assess whether hyperons can exist in neutron-star interiors.

• Stellar astronomyBroader topic: Its extreme density probes matter under conditions unavailable in ordinary stars.

• Type II supernovaRelated: A successful collapse explosion commonly leaves a neutron star at its center.

• X-ray pulsarNarrower topic: Its extreme density and compactness provide the setting for X-ray pulsar emission.

• Joseph Hooton Taylor Jr.Narrower topic: Pulsars are rotating neutron stars, the objects at the center of Taylor’s research.

• PSR B1937+21Narrower topic: This pulsar's extreme density and compactness enable its rapid rotation and strong magnetic field.

• SN 1054Narrower topic: The explosion left a neutron star that is observed as the Crab Pulsar.

• Stellar black holeCompared with: A neutron star is the alternative remnant when collapse stops short of forming a black hole.

• Messier 15Narrower topic: The cluster's pulsar is a neutron star whose rapid rotation produces its observed pulses.

• Russell Alan HulseNarrower topic: The pulsar and its companion are neutron stars, making the system an extreme-gravity laboratory.

• Astronomical black holesCompared with: It is the main alternative compact remnant when a collapsing stellar core avoids becoming a black hole.

• Black dwarfCompared with: More massive stellar cores can become neutron stars rather than white dwarfs.

• Buchdahl's theoremBroader topic: Neutron stars are tested against compactness bounds derived for relativistic stellar models.

• Exotic starNarrower topic: It provides the standard dense-matter baseline that exotic-star models extend.

• Micro black holeCompared with: A neutron star can be tiny by astronomical standards without being a microscopic black hole.

• QCD matterRelated: Its core may contain dense phases of QCD matter not yet confirmed.
