Question

Stars much heavier than our sun will not form white dwarf, but collapse further, becoming (if condition are right) neutron stars. They result from the supernova explosion of a massive star, combined with gravitational collapse, that compresses the core past white dwarf star density to that of atomic nuclei. Eventually neutron degeneracy pressure stabilizes the collapse, just as the electron does for white dwarfs.

The Fermi Energy is given by

$E_f=\frac{\hbar^2}{2m_n}(3\pi^2\frac{N_n}{V})^{2/3}$

where Z/A =1 and V corresponds to volume.

The neutron mass is
