Which stage of the sun consists neutron star/stars

AI Thread Summary
The sun will never become a neutron star due to its insufficient mass; only more massive stars can undergo supernova explosions to form neutron stars. Instead, the sun will eventually exhaust its hydrogen fuel and expand into a red giant, fusing helium. After several billion years, it will leave behind a core primarily composed of carbon, which will become a white dwarf. This white dwarf will initially be hot and dense, but it will gradually cool over time. The discussion clarifies the life cycle of stars like the sun, emphasizing that neutron stars are not part of its evolutionary path.

None.

The sun is too small ever to form a neutron star, which is the remnant left over after some, more massive stars explode as supernovae.

For stars like the sun, eventually, their hydrogen fuel runs out, and the stars expand into a red giant phase while helium is being fused. After several billion years, the stellar core which is left over consists mostly of carbon. Fusion stops, and the stellar core shrinks under gravity until it is about the size of earth, but contains almost all of the mass of the sun. Although this white dwarf is initially very hot and dense, over time this remnant will cool.

TL;DR Summary: In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation. In case of failure to detect alien signals, it will further expand the radius of the so-called silence (or rather, radio silence) of the Universe. Is there any sense in this or is blissful ignorance better? In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation.

Thread 'Could gamma-ray bursts have an intragalactic origin?'
This is indirectly evidenced by a map of the distribution of gamma-ray bursts in the night sky, made in the form of an elongated globe. And also the weakening of gamma radiation by the disk and the center of the Milky Way, which leads to anisotropy in the possibilities of observing gamma-ray bursts. My line of reasoning is as follows: 1. Gamma radiation should be absorbed to some extent by dust and other components of the interstellar medium. As a result, with an extragalactic origin, fewer...
