What happens here is that while the star is converting energy through nuclear fusion, the inward force of gravity is countered by (a) the gas pressure, and (b) the radiation pressure. However, once the nuclear fuel burns out, there is no more radiation pressure; and the gas pressure by itself is not enough to stop the collapse. Thus, the star will collapse - into a white dwarf, a neutron star, or a black hole, depending on the remaining mass.
What else can I help you with?
Do massive stars become neutron stars?
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.
Do black holes and neutron stars have any connection?
Yes, both black holes and neutron stars are remnants of the death of massive stars. Neutron stars form when the core of a massive star collapses but does not produce a black hole. Black holes are formed when the core of a massive star collapses beyond the neutron star stage.
Can any black hole turn into a neutron star?
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.
These stars are produced during a supernova event?
The stars produced during a supernova event are known as neutron stars or black holes. Neutron stars are extremely dense remnants of massive stars, while black holes are formed when the core of a massive star collapses. Both neutron stars and black holes have unique properties and play a significant role in the cosmic landscape.
Where are neutron stars located at in the universe?
Mostly in galaxies, where they can form Super Massive Black Holes.
What force causes extremely high mass stars to turn into black holes instead of nuetron stars?
Black holes are formed by super massive stars when they collapse. Less massive stars will form neutron stars. Therefore, the original size and mass of the star will determine if a black hole will be created when the star collapses.
Which objects in the Universe have the highest density?
Objects like neutron stars and black holes have some of the highest densities in the Universe. Neutron stars are incredibly dense remnants of massive stars, while black holes have infinite density at their center known as a singularity.
What stellar remnants can form when stars die?
When a star dies, it can leave behind different types of stellar remnants depending on its mass. Some examples include white dwarfs, neutron stars, and black holes. White dwarfs are formed from the remnants of low to medium mass stars, neutron stars are formed from the remnants of massive stars, and black holes are formed from the remnants of the most massive stars.
What is a star that has collapsed after using its fuel?
A collapsed star after using up its fuel is called a white dwarf, neutron star, or black hole, depending on its mass. White dwarfs are remnants of low to medium mass stars, neutron stars are remnants of massive stars, and black holes are formed when very massive stars collapse.
Medium size stars become black holes true or false?
False. Medium-sized stars become white dwarfs. Only the most massive stars form black holes.
What is Compare and contrast neutron stars and black holes?
Neutron stars and black holes are both remnants of massive stars that have undergone gravitational collapse, but they differ significantly in their properties. Neutron stars are incredibly dense objects composed primarily of neutrons, with a mass typically between 1.4 to about 3 solar masses, and they can emit radiation, such as pulsars. In contrast, black holes arise when a massive star collapses beyond a certain threshold, creating a region in space with a gravitational pull so strong that not even light can escape. While neutron stars can be detected via electromagnetic radiation, black holes are identified by their influence on surrounding matter and the detection of gravitational waves from mergers.
What are the remnants of a high mass star?
Massive stars become neutron stars, or black holes (depending on how much mass is left at the end of a star's lifetime).
