Could this moon of a gas giant orbiting a neutron star support life?
Making the following assumptions:
1. The three moons of the Gas Giant are safe enough distances from and massive enough not to pull each other apart or send themselves careening into the void.
2. Life on the "Green" moon is protected from radiation (through incredibly strong bonded atoms, a ridiculously protective atmosphere/magnetic field, or some other means).
3. The "Green" moon is "Like-Earth", diverse ecosystems and biomes, liquid magma core, etc
4. The bodies in orbit around the star formed or entered the system, after the star's collapse.
Is there a minimum safe distance from the star that would allow the "Green" planet to continuously support life for, let's say 10 billion years?
If so, I'll end up asking if anyone has ideas on what the sky would look like during the day and night during periods where the star would be visible, in another question.
