%X Neutron stars are created due to the cataclysmic merger of two superdense stellar corpses. It is now evident that neutron-star smash-ups are the source of much of the universe¡¯s gold platinum, uranium and other heavy elements. Heavy elements contain large neutron excess and thus, neutron energy pairing will play a very important role in the creation of such heavy element. Using theoretical considerations and the results of experimental observations, some important properties of neutron stars such as radius (R), the speed of sound inside the neutron star (Cs), the surface speed (Vs) and the most stable isotopes in the neutron star have been determined. The calculated values are compared with the values known so far.
