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 quality determines whether a star will become a black hole when it?
The primary physical property which would determine whether a star would become a black hole at the end of its life once its fuel is exhausted would be its mass. Stars above a certain mass could possibly collapse and become a black hole, those below that mass might end up as a white dwarf or neutron star. In current theories of stellar evolution, supported by astronomical observation, older stars can evidence instabilities and certain mechanisms can cause the star to explode or otherwise shed mass from its outer envelope out into space - thus, mass alone is certainly not the only quality which would determine the star's fate.
Is it possible to determine the planet's mass from a star's velocity curve?
Yes, by measuring both the stars orbital period and its change in velocity over the orbit.
Do high mass stars or low mass stars have a faster rate of burning?
Higher mass stars "burn" faster due to the increased pressure in the core.
What are Binary stars used to determine?
The masses of the two stars.
What determines the evolution of a star?
The mass of a star affects the lifespan of the star. The less the mass, the longer life span of the star. More massive stars burn up their fuel more quickly than the smaller stars. As the massive stars begin to burn the fuel and become smaller, the life span increases.
How does gravity effect stellar evolution?
Gravity effects stellar evolution by pulling down force on the stars while they are forming. Mass will determine how long the star stays alive and burning.
What has the author Harold Conrad Graboske written?
Harold Conrad Graboske has written: 'Structure and evolution of low mass stars' -- subject(s): Stars, Astrophysics, Evolution, Masses
What is the main factor that effects the evolution of a star?
The mass of the star affects the evolution of the star. It helps to determine how long evolution will take and what kinds of changes will happen.
What measurements are needed to determine the entire mass of the Milky Way Galaxy?
The average stellar mass x the number of stars ______________________________ We can calculate the mass of the Milky Way by observing the speed at which stars orbit the center, as long as we can determine how far away they are from the center.
What factors determine how long a star lives?
the stars amount of mass
Are red stars old or new?
The color of a star does not directly determine its age. Red stars are large and a little less hot then the Sun. Scientists can use the color of a star to determine its heat and then using that and its mass determine how old it is.
Which property of a star can be determined from binary star system?
Binary stars are ideal to determine the mass of the components.
What is the Law of Stellar Evolution?
I am not aware that there is any such law. Although there are various typical paths of development for stars, depending on their mass, composition and environment.
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.
What is the most important factor of controlling the evolution of a star?
The total mass. That will determine the life cycle of the star, the nature of its death and of the remnants after its death.
What is the single important factor controlling the evolution of a star?
The total mass. That will determine the life cycle of the star, the nature of its death and of the remnants after its death.
