A star the size of two stellar masses forms as a result of a supernova explosion what is the star called?

Following certain types of Supernova events there can often be a gravitational collapse of massive stars and this can result in the stellar remnant becoming a neutron star. Based on the Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff limit the solar mass of a neutron star can range from 1.5 to 3.0 solar masses.

∙ 13y agoA star twice the size of the Sun will not explode as a supernova. It does not have enough mass for core collapse to occur.
It may however, if it is part of a binary pair, experience a nova or a type Ia supernova but this would occur well before it has reached two solar masses - normally around 1.38.

Stellar remnants will be left after a supernova.
- Neutron Star
- Black hole
- ... and many other exotic forms.

What stellar event produced elements with atomic masses greater than iron?
supernova
If the core of a supernova explosion contains three or more solar masses of matter the core will most likely become a what?
If sufficient mass remains after the supernova explosion, it will become a black hole.
What happens during the life cycle of a starwith one stellar mass?
a star with 2-3 stellar masses would become a red supergiant then a supernova and then become a neutron star.
When a star that is more than 40 times bigger than the sun dies what is it called?
It depends. With current theoretical knowledge, a star of this mass has two possible outcomes. 1) It erupts in a cataclysmic explosion as a supernova and then forms into a black hole or 2) If the mass is high enough, currently believed to be around 50 solar masses, it will form directly into a black hole without the supernova.
How many solar masses does a star have to have before a supernova is produced?
four

Small dense star that remains after a red giant?
"Stellar masses" is not a unit of mass - perhaps you mean "solar masses". Depending on the remaining mass - after the supernova explosion - either a neutron star or a black hole. In the case of four stellar masses, probably a neutron star; it would require a more massive star than that to become a black hole.

Select the star life cycle that is accurate.?
Star of three stellar masses, Red giant, Supernova, Neutron Star Hope this helps! :) 5/3/21
How can stellar masses be determined by observing binary star systems?
Stellar masses can be determined by observing binary star-systems. The calculations of the orbits of the binary stars allow the masses of their component stars to be directly determined, which in turn allows other stellar parameters, such as radius and density, to be indirectly estimated.

What mass is required for a Type ll supernova?
Stars with a mass about 9 solar masses, or greater, will explode as a type II supernova.
Is a supernova a super giant?
A supernova may have been a supergiant star at one time, but it did not have to be. Any star with a mass greater than 3 times our sun will supernova. There are millions of stars having masses between 3 solar masses and supergiant mass for every single supergiant star... and every one will supernova when it dies.
How do super massive rare stars end their life as?
The most massive stars will end up as black holes. Those are the stars that have more than approximately 3 solar masses at the end of their life - i.e., AFTER the supernova explosion.
How does a star turns into a neutron star?
A star 8 time the mass of the Sun turns into a neutron star when it run out of fuel, become a supergiant, and undergo supernova explosion. After the explosion, a core remains. If the core is less than 3 Solar masses, it becomes a neutron star, or else it becomes a black hole.
