Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A spinning neutron star is commonly found at the center of a supernova remnant, which is the leftover debris after a massive star has exploded. The intense explosion can trigger the collapse of the star's core into a dense, rapidly rotating neutron star or pulsar. Planetary nebula, red supergiants, and protostars are not typically associated with the existence of neutron stars.
