When it's nuclear fuel is spent, a star like the Sun expands to become a Red Giant, then colapses into a White Dwarf. Stars 10 times more massive then the Sundie suddenly, in a spectacular Supernova explosion, leaving behind a neutron star, or a black hole.

 

Neutron Stars:

 

Neutrons are heavy particles in the center of atoms. In a neutreon star, other particles, souch as protons, and electronshave been striped away, leaving only a small spheer of closely packed neutrons.A neutron star may be just six miles in diameter, yet have more mas then the Sun. A single spoonfull of Neutron star matter would weigh a billoin tons or more. Neutron stars spinn verry rapidly, radiating energy as they rotate. that energy may be detected as radio waves, or

X-Rays. A neutron star emits radiation along the axis of it's magnetic field. Because the magnetic axis is not perfectly lined up with the axis of rotation, the emisions sweep across space like a searchlight.When the emisions sweep by Earth once or twice in each rotation, they seem to pulse on and off, and the stars are called Pulsars. Neutron stars are often detected in binary systems as X-Ray pulsars, in whichmatter from the companion star is drawn toward the neutron star. As gas falls on the neutron star's surface, it emitsbursts of X-Rays.

 

The Crab Nebula is a shell of gas left from a supernova of the year 1054. at its center, a pulsar rotates 30 times a second!

Sheesh, it's bad enough we make fun of them by calling them dwarfs. Do we have to point out their skin color too? ;)

I apologise for the way I worded that.

 

A Whit dwarf is what remains of a star after it goes nova, the dense core, in time it will cool, and eventually freeze in space. It will go from white to red, brown, then black once it is frozen.

 

Yes their are many diferent tipes of stars, just as there are many diferent tipes of planet.
