What is the mass of a neutron star?
Neutron stars range in mass from 1.35 Solar masses (2.69e+30 kg) to 2.40 Solar masses (4.16e+30 kg). Any smaller, and electrorepulsive forces will not allow the object to attain this stage (it would be a white dwarf instead), and any heavier, and the neutron star will collapse further into a black hole. This is called Schandraskar's limit a star must be at least 3 solar masses to be a candidate for a black hole however according to the Tolman, Oppenheimer, Volkov limits and star over 5 solar masses must become a black hole
What is astronauts do?
Astronauts go to different planets etc and collect specimens and other things so that scientists can research and find out more about our solar system.
To what underlying cause do solar scientists attribute the flow pattern in the Sun's surface known as supergranulation?
The effect on the photosphere of a deep tier of large convective cells
When Do scientists believe your solar system was formed?
by a theory of the BIG BANG explosion and the HELIOCENTRIC theory,that until now is being believe
Does any of the radiation produced by the sun pass through the earth or is it only reflected or absorbed?
The Sun - as do all stars - radiates a wide variety of energy. The primary energy output of the Sun is in the electromagnetic spectrum, at all frequencies from low-frequency radio to microwaves to heat to light to UV to X-rays and beyond. All of this radiation is blocked by a short distance of dirt.Charged particle radiation, in the form of alpha particles (helium nuclei) or beta particles (free electrons) are easily blocked; beta particles by anything more than a sheet of paper, and alpha particles by a few feet of dirt.There is one other form of radiation that our understanding of nuclear physics suggests ought to be emitted by the core of the Sun; neutrinos. Neutrinos interact VERY weakly with any other matter, and should generally pass through the Earth. Unfortunately, this means that neutrinos will generally pass, undetected, through most neutrino detectors, which are made of matter. However, we ought to be able to detect SOME of the solar neutrinos, which brings up a bit of a conundrum. We are not detecting nearly as many solar neutrinos as our understanding of physics suggests that we should be seeing.So, we have the following possibilities:The Sun may not be emitting as many solar neutrinos as our current models suggest.We may not have designed the neutrino detectors properly, which also suggests that we do not yet understand how neutrinos behave.The models are correct and the neutrino detectors would work, except that the nuclear fusion reaction in the Sun has "gone out" and continues to radiate heat and light from gravitational collapse.Something Else Is Going On.Some combination of the above.I'm a believer in some combination of 1, 2 and 4.
What is the dolar neutrino problem?
I presume you mean, "What WAS the Solar neutrino problem?"Our understanding of our Sun's core predicted a certain number of neutrinos would hit our Earth per second. Measurements of neutrinos from our Sun were substantially different from this number. The scientists who did the theories said the scientists doing the measurements were wrong; and vice versa -- an argument that went back and forth for forty years.We now know that neutrinos do decay, thus perfectly explaining the lack of neutrinos that are measured as coming from our Sun.The scientists who write the theories are busy trying to explain neutrino decay.
Do solar neutrino carry energy?
Yes.
Why don't people use solar energy?
Solar power is becoming more popular, but scientists are trying to improve the overall efficiency of the technology.
How can neutrino oscillation explain the solar neutrino problem?
The solar neutrino problem relates to the discrepancy between the proportions of the different flavours of neutrinos emitted by the sun in the theoretical model as opposed to experimental measurements. Whilst the sun primarily emitts electron neutrinos, neutrino observatories such as SNO+ detected neutrinos in roughly equal proportions of the three flavours; furthermore the quantity of electron neutrinos detected was less than the theoretically predicted value. Both of these can be explained by neutrino oscillation - in which the neutrinos alter their mass to change their flavour (ie. an electron neutrinos gain mass to change to a muon neutrino). This would also explain the relative lack of electron neutrinos, thus solving the solar neutrino problem!
Why don't more people use solar energy?
Solar power is becoming more popular, but scientists are trying to improve the overall efficiency of the technology.
At the solar neutrino observatory what is used to capture neutrinos?
They capture it by using GA or metal.
What do scientists look for when they are trying to find planets around other stars?
The first discoveries of extra-solar planets were made by looking for a slight wobble in the motion of the star. In the last couple of years, scientists have been able to detect the change in the spectrum of a star as a planet passes in front of it, and be able to analyze the atmosphere of that planet.
How was the Solar neutrino problem solved?
The problem was that the Sun should output a lot more electron neutrinos then were measured. This meant that the model describing the interior of the Sun would be wrong, but it was working very well in predicting other things. It was finally solved when something called neutrino oscillation was discovered. It turned out that (this might be a bit technical) the interaction state of a neutrino was not equal to its mass or propagation state. In short, this meant that electron neutrino's could become muon or tau neutrino's after a while (and change back again after that). After this people began looking for muon and tau neutrinos coming from the Sun and together with the electron neutrino number they added up to the amount the Solar model predicted. The problem was thus solved; the Sun DOES output more electron neutrino's but some of these change into muon or tau neutrinos before they reach the Earth, and since we were initially only looking for electron neutrinos we missed some.
How do measurements of neutrinos from the sun pose a problem for modern astronomy?
At present, no problems. 15 years ago, scientists had no explanation for the small number of solar neutrinos detected at our Earth. Either we didn't understand neutrino formation in our Sun, our detectors were wrong, or neutrinos had the capacity to decay. The latter seemed to be the least likely possibility, so scientists argued for many years which of the first two was correct. In 1998 it was discovered that neutrinos do, indeed, decay into other neutrinos. The reason we weren't seeing as many neutrinos as we expected was because the ones we were expecting to see had decayed into other types. So the solar neutrino problem is no longer a problem.
What is the smallest member of the solar system?
The smallest member of the Solar System is a dust grain such as a micro-meteoroid. Or if you want to get a lot smaller, then a hydrogen atom. Even smaller, a neutrino from the Sun.
