Description: Overview of what is known about neutron stars, including a discussion of X-ray bursters.
It is estimated that there are 10 neutron stars in our galaxy. About 1000 of these have actually been observed by astronomers so far. Neutron stars typically have masses of around 1-2 solar masses and diameters of approximately 10 km. Thus, they have enormous densities that are similar to those encountered in the nucleus of the atom. In fact, in certain ways, neutron stars are similar to giant atomic nuclei the size of a city.
