As the star collapses, internal pressure increases until the two balance each other out.

Physics! Only so many sardines will fit in a can! Heat

I believe it's the Pauli Exclusion Principle, that no two fermions (neutrons in this case) can occupy the same state at the same place and time.

Lack of enough mass to continue collapsing.

Electron degeneracy pressure http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_degeneracy_pressure Correction (see below): Neutron degeneracy pressure: " In a neutron star lighter than the limit, the weight of the star is supported by short-range repulsive neutron-neutron interactions mediated by the strong force and also by the quantum degeneracy pressure of neutrons." The so-called Tolman-Oppenheimer-Vookoff limit. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff_limit
