A neutron star is a compact object supported by neutron degeneracy pressure.
Pulsars are neutron stars which emit beams of radiation.
A Type I supernova will be blown to bits, and will not leave behind a dense central remnant. If the object's mass is less than about 3 M sun , it forms a stable object known as a neutron star . The surface of a neutron star is not anyplace you would want to visit. On the surface of a neutron star, you'd be simultaneously vaporized by the intense heat and squashed flat by the intense gravitational force.
