Density and Rotational Period of a Pulsar

Most stars in the mass range between 1.4 and 8 solar masses will end up as a neutron star.  As a star collapses, the pressure is so great that individual protons and electrons combine to form neutrons and ultimately a neutron star whose density is so great a thimble full would weigh as much as 10 billion tonnes. These activities measure the density of Solar system objects.
