The evolutionary path from main sequence stars to neutron stars has not yet been definitively determined. The following seems, however, common to published models1,3: (a) The pre-neutron star stage has a very dense carbon-oxygen core of mass Mc˜1.4M⨀, surrounded by a more massive hydrogen and helium shell-burning envelope; the total stellar mass is ˜ 4 to 8M⨀. The core is initially kept below the carbon ignition temperature by conventional neutrino emission processes.
