A star that was 150 solar masses would spend the main part of its life as a main sequence star before collapsing into a white dwarf. A stars mass determines the life expectancy as well as its probable cause of death.

How big and small can a star be?
A mass of a star can be anything between 0.1 solar masses to 100 solar masses.
Is it possible to make Jupiter a star if you applied more mass to it?
Jupiter has a mass of 0.001 Solar Masses. A star needs at least 0.1 Solar Masses, so if you multiplied Jupiter's mass by at least 100 it would become a star.
Which star is largest Sirius or Algol?
Algol Sirius (Dog Star) has a radius of 1.711 Solar masses. Algol (El Ghoul or demon) has a radius of 2.3 Solar masses.
What is the mass of Barnards star?
Barnards star has a mass of between 0.15 and 0.17 solar masses.
What 2 things can happen to a star after a supernova?
It can either become a neutron star or a black hole. If the star is between 8 and 15 solar masses, it will become an incredibly dense neutron star. If it is more than 15 solar masses, it will collapse and become an even denser black hole.
How big and small can a star be?
A mass of a star can be anything between 0.1 solar masses to 100 solar masses.
What is the significance of 3 solar masses in a star's fate?
After a high-mass star explodes as supernova and leaves a core behind, the core would become a neutron star or a black hole. If the core is less than 3 solar masses, it would become a neutron star; if the mass exceeds 3 solar masses, the core would continue to collapse, forming a black hole.
Is it possible to make Jupiter a star if you applied more mass to it?
Jupiter has a mass of 0.001 Solar Masses. A star needs at least 0.1 Solar Masses, so if you multiplied Jupiter's mass by at least 100 it would become a star.
What forms from a supernova?
Depending on the mass of the original star it will either end up as a neutron star (< 20 solar masses) or a black hole (> 20 solar masses).
Why do you not expect to find a 5 solar mass neutron star?
There are no neutron stars with 5 solar masses because one if a neutron star exceeds 3 solar masses, the neutrons inside would no longer be able to support the extreme gravity, so the neutron star would then collapse into a black hole.A neutron star is prevented from further collapse by a force call neutron degeneracy pressure. Above 3 solar masses gravity will overcome this force and the stellar remnant will collapse completely to form a black hole.
Which star is largest Sirius or Algol?
Algol Sirius (Dog Star) has a radius of 1.711 Solar masses. Algol (El Ghoul or demon) has a radius of 2.3 Solar masses.
What is a stelar black hole?
That refers to a black hole that results from the gravitational collapse of a star, and which has a mass between 3 solar masses and several solar masses, depending on the mass of the star that collapsed.
How many solar masses does a star have to have before a supernova is produced?
four
What the mass of Barnard's star?
Barnards star has a mass of between 0.15 and 0.17 solar masses.
What is the mass of Barnards star?
Barnards star has a mass of between 0.15 and 0.17 solar masses.

It can either become a neutron star or a black hole. If the star is between 8 and 15 solar masses, it will become an incredibly dense neutron star. If it is more than 15 solar masses, it will collapse and become an even denser black hole.
What is a main sequence star with less than 0.4 solar masses?
A red dwarf.
