Neutron star 3

There are thought to be around 100 million neutron stars in the Milky Way, a figure obtained by estimating the number of stars that have gone
supernova.[10] However, most are old and cold, and neutron stars can only be easily detected in certain instances, such as if they are a pulsar or part of a binary
system. Non-rotating and non-accreting neutron stars are virtually undetectable; however, the Hubble Space Telescope has observed one thermally radiating
neutron star, called RX J185635-3754. Gamma-ray bursts may be produced from rapidly rotating high-mass stars that collapse to form a neutron star, or from the
merger of binary neutron stars. Soft gamma repeaters are conjectured to be a type of neutron star known as magnetars or, alternatively, neutron stars with fossil
disks around them
