What do white dwarfs and neutron stars have in common?
Both white dwarfs and neutron stars are extremely dense remnants of the collapsed cores of dead stars.
What is a small hot very dense star?
Both white dwarfs and neutron stars match the description. Neutron stars are smaller, hotter, and denser.
What is the difference between star that become white dwarfs and stars that become neutron stars?
the simple reson is mass.......that is if the star under consideration is a heavy one, it is more likely to turn into a black hole and if it is comparatively smaller it is prone to turn into a neutron star or a white dwarf
How is degeneracy pressure related to white dwarfs and neutron stars?
White dwarfs are prevented from collapsing further by electron degeneracy pressure. If the mass of a stellar remnant exceeds the Chandrasekhar limit, about 1.4 solar masses, gravity will overcome this pressure and form a much smaller and denser neutron star. Further collapse in a neutron star is prevented by neutron degeneracy pressure up until the Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff limit of about 3 solar masses, at which point gravity causes a complete collapse, forming a black hole.
Why is it rare for a star to become a black hole when it dies?
Because it takes a large amount of mass for the star to end up that way. Most stars will become white dwarfs. A small fraction will become neutron stars. And even smaller fraction will become black holes.
What neutron star is smaller than white dwarfs are thought to be remnants of .?
A neutron star is the remnant of a star, which - at the end of its life, and AFTER possibly losing a lot of mass (for instance, in a supernova explosion) has a remaining mass that is greater than the so-called Chandrasekhar limit.
What do white dwarfs and neutron stars have in common?
Both white dwarfs and neutron stars are extremely dense remnants of the collapsed cores of dead stars.
What kinds of stars are smaller than the sun?
There are other "main sequence" stars smaller than the Sun, but the classes of much smaller stars are:white dwarf stars (once Sun-like but no longer support fusion)red dwarfs and orange dwarfs (small dim stars that have very long lives)"brown dwarfs" (oversized Jovian gas giants with little or no fusion)neutron stars (smaller than the Earth but immensely dense, remnants of massive stars that went supernova)
What is a Very small hot star?
Both white dwarfs and neutron stars match the description. Neutron stars are smaller, hotter, and denser.
What is a small hot very dense star?
Both white dwarfs and neutron stars match the description. Neutron stars are smaller, hotter, and denser.
Can a star get smaller and smaller?
Yes, as they begin to lose power stars can sometimes flare to be red giants, though most eventually collapse into neutron stars or white dwarfs.
Are white dwarfs alive or dead?
White dwarfs are stellar remnants, so it a simplified form, they are dead stars.
What has the author Dongsu Kyu written?
Dongsu Kyu has written: 'Neutron stars and white dwarfs in galactic halos?' -- subject(s): White dwarfs, Neutron stars
Why are white dwarfs common?
White dwarfs are the remnants of dead low to medium mass stars, which is the mass range of the majority of stars.
What is the difference between star that become white dwarfs and stars that become neutron stars?
the simple reson is mass.......that is if the star under consideration is a heavy one, it is more likely to turn into a black hole and if it is comparatively smaller it is prone to turn into a neutron star or a white dwarf
What is made when stars die?
There are three types of stellar remnants. Low to medium mass stars will become white dwarfs. High mass stars will become neutron stars. Very high mass stars will become black holes.
What is the diffrance between stars that become white dwarfs and stars that become neutron stars?
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.
