That should be Ice XI https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice#Phases
So you can take heat + pressure and make Ice.. This is a new 1 for me. lol
Well solid water, but not ice as you know it. The ice we get is from the molecules slowing down enough that the H-O-H molecules move slowly enough their uneven charge can make them all form a grid which is why water expands as it freezes. Here the molecules would be wanting to move faster than ever but be unable to under the pressure - it'd be all crushed up and super-dense and nothing like ice. wonder if it's white or clear?So you can take heat + pressure and make Ice..

This from the wiki page is easy to read I think:

The left side of the graph is in Pascals, 75k MPa is about 740k atmospheres. So you can easily see that ice can exist at that temperature and pressure![]()
Neutrons go forever though (pretty much) - maybe enough time for things to start again?I've seen a lovely Earth-like world orbiting a Neutron star, kinda completely impossible for a number of reasons... (one of which it would have been cooked to a crisp in the prior supernova!)
4 earth masses in a smaller diameter, that thing is really compressed.
What I don't understand is why it only has 1.62G

I've been wondering this looking up at nebula filled skies and dreaming of the childhood stories and legends and religions you'd have about the great dark and the great purple, split asunder with a shaft of light that we call the milky way - but how close to a supernova gets sterilised? How long does it take to recover if at all?
That planet is actually bigger than Earth - Earth radius is only 6,371 km (and that one's over 10k). Makes the gravity a tad more puzzling, even.
