2. Neutron star - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutron_star

   In neutron stars, the neutron drip is the transition point where nuclei become so neutron-rich that they can no longer hold additional neutrons, leading to a sea of free neutrons being formed. The sea of neutrons formed after neutron drip provides additional pressure support, which helps maintain the star's structural integrity and prevents ...

   Zooming to RX J1856.5−3754 which is one of the Magnificent Seven and, at a distance of about 400 light-years, the closest-known neutron star. Neutron stars are the collapsed cores of supergiant stars. [1] They are created as a result of supernovas and gravitational collapse, [2] and are the second-smallest and densest class of stellar objects ...

4. PSR J0952–0607 - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PSR_J0952–0607

   PSR J0952–0607 is a massive millisecond pulsar in a binary system, located between 3,200–5,700 light-years (970–1,740 pc) from Earth in the constellation Sextans. [6] It holds the record for being the most massive neutron star known as of 2022, with a mass 2.35 ± 0.17 times that of the Sun—potentially close to the Tolman–Oppenheimer–Volkoff mass upper limit for neutron stars.

5. X-ray binary - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-ray_binary

   A high-mass X-ray binary (HMXB) is a binary star system that is strong in X rays, and in which the normal stellar component is a massive star: usually an O or B star, a blue supergiant, or in some cases, a red supergiant or a Wolf–Rayet star. The compact, X-ray emitting, component is a neutron star or black hole. [1]

6. PSR J0737−3039 - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PSR_J0737%E2%88%923039

   A neutron star is the ultra-compact remnant of a massive star which exploded as a supernova. Neutron stars have a mass bigger than the Sun , yet are only a few kilometers across. These extremely dense objects rotate on their axes , producing focused electromagnetic waves which sweep around the sky and briefly point toward Earth in a lighthouse ...
