Neutron stars are the collapsed cores of supergiant stars.[4] They are created as a result of supernovas and gravitational collapse[5], and are the second smallest and densest class of stellar objects.[6] In the cores of these stars, protons and electrons combine to form neutrons.[5] Neutron stars can be classified as pulsars if they are magnetized, if they rotate, and if they emit beams of electromagnetic radiation out of their magnetic poles.[7]
