well your theory is original i'll give you that, but i'm pretty sure photons would be absorbed by extremely densely packed neutrons, therefore it would appear to be black.

practically though, neutron stars are either accreting matter from a binary, in which case the surface would be burning white hot, or are ejecting material/light from nearby dust and such therefore beaming out radio jets like the VELA pulsar does.

Interesting fact:
Astronomers thought they'd found signals from other civilisations when they discovered nuetron stars because they emitted a repeated signal. They called the 4 sources LGM 1, 2, 3 and 4, LGM standing for Little Green Men.

Okay, not that interesting.
cheers

The person that discovered the pulsars was a PhD student. Her supervisor got the Nobel Prize for that.

Ripped off hey?

You know technically scince a neturon star shouldnt be charged (neutrons wouldnt decay becuase gravity works to keep them in a bound state) it would be TRANSPARENT! (photons only react w/ charged partices.)
