Nuclear reactions across a neutron star

A neutron star is an astronomical object composed almost entirely of neutrons, making it super-dense. Gravity from its dense matter makes that stellar matter from another star, often like the Sun, fall onto its surface, forming a disk around it. Hence, it is the natural laboratory of extreme conditions impossible to create in any laboratory on Earth. Sometimes, a neutron star emits sudden bursts of X-ray photons that astronomers use to study its interiors, its surface and its environment.
