There are millions of correct answers to your question. See the wikipedia source for a pretty good overview.

A good starting point for your research on this would be the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram which shows the relationship between absolute magnitude, luminosity, classification and surface temperature of stars. See attached link.
For information on neutron stars and pulsars, see the "astronomynotes" link below.
The best information I can recommend on mass/temperature relationships in galaxies is by Joseph Mohr "The X-Ray Size-Temperature Relation for Intermediate-Redshift Galaxy Clusters", which you should be able to download from the University of Chicago weblink below.
