Abstract
We consider configurations consisting of a neutron star with a wormhole at the core. The wormhole is held open by a ghost scalar field with a quartic coupling. The neutron matter is described by a perfect fluid with a polytropic equation of state. We obtain static regular solutions for these systems. A stability analysis, however, shows that they are unstable with respect to linear perturbations.
