A neutron star is the ultra dense remnant of the core of a massive star after the outer layers explode in a supernova. If two massive stars orbit each other, both can become neutron stars. After billions of years they spiral together and merge, creating a catastrophic explosion called a gamma-ray burst. Tremendous beams of energy are blasted away from the poles, focused by the ridiculously powerful magnetic fields of the two stars.
This video shows computer models of the neutron stars merging, and how their magnetic fields coalesce to form those beams.
