Is it true that neutron stars exist as dense collapsed cores left behind by supernovae of massive stars?

Yes. One reference source states that a neutron star is the gravitationally collapsed core of a massive supergiant star, resulting from the supernova explosion of a massive star. The remaining retrieved items concern neutron star interiors, mergers, or dense matter and do not address the claim's origin statement.
