a star as dense as nuclear matter I don't know what that means. A neutron star has the mass between 1.4 and 2x the mass of the sun compacted into a diameter of about 12 miles.

As dense as an atomic nucleus. A neutron star (i.e. pulsar) is for the most part a giant atomic nucleus weighing more than the sun, and made up of tightly packed neutrons. The exact density varies from surface to core, but generally is about 100 million tons per cc.
