Some massive stars will become neutron stars. When massive stars die they will either become neutron stars or black holes depending on how much mass is left behind.
A star that becomes a white dwarf simply does not have the mass to become a neutron star. White dwarfs are the the remnants of a star very similar to our own sun in mass, where it takes a much more massive star to create a neutron star, Like the star Betelgeuse is a prime example of a star that does not have the mass to become a black hole but is massive enough to become a neutron star.
No, the sun will not become a neutron star. Neutron stars form from the remnants of massive stars that have undergone a supernova explosion. The sun is not massive enough to undergo this process and will instead evolve into a white dwarf.
If enough mass is left over after the supernova explosion, i.e. after material is blown off into space, the star will become a black hole. Less massive stars will become neutron stars. A neutron star can convert to a black hole later, if enough matter falls into it.
No. The most massive stars will leave behind a black hole.
No, black holes cannot turn into neutron stars. Neutron stars form from the remnants of supernova explosions of massive stars, while black holes are formed from the gravitational collapse of massive stars. Once a black hole is formed, it will remain a black hole and will not transform into a neutron star.
The difference is in mass. Low to medium mass stars (up to about 8-10 solar masses) become white dwarfs. Massive stars (10 to 25 solar masses) become neutron stars. Stars above 25 solar masses tend to become black holes.
Neutron stars could form in places where there are high-mass stars. After the star runs out of fuel in its core, the core collapses while the shell explodes into the space as supernova. The core would then become a neutron star, it might also become a black hole if it is massive enough.
The collapse of massive stars - the same as neutron stars.
Whether a star will become a neutron star is determined by its mass. Generally, stars that are more than 8 solar masses (have a mass that is more than 8 times that of our Sun), but are less than 15 solar masses will become neutron stars when they die.
Massive stars become neutron stars, or black holes (depending on how much mass is left at the end of a star's lifetime).
Stars that become white dwarfs die but become black holes . Neutron stars are born from a Super Nova that stored its energy and became a neutron star.
Neutron stars, the dead remnants of massive stars.
