I need to know the size (in kilometers), mass (in solar masses), Temperature (kelvin or celsius), and length of existence (in years) of the following stellar objects (any of these answers are extremely appreciated: Supernova and Supernova Remnant, Neutron Star and Pulsars, Nebula (generally speaking not including planetary nebulae), and Main Sequence Stars. Any help is extremely appreciated. The internet is a big place. Only intelligent answers please.

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.
