They don't produce heat or have much activity at all permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] zephr_c@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago They're still neutron stars though. As far as we know the only ways for a neutron star to stop being a neutron star is for enough stuff to fall into them that they collapse into a black hole, two merge to become a black hole, or if they get eaten by a black hole. Otherwise neutron stars are just about the most stable things in the universe. permalink fedilink source parent [–] itslilith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 years ago Interestingly enough, the inner Layers of a neutron star are commonly modeled to have a temperature of 0K, since the extreme density prevents thermal movements permalink fedilink source parent
