Either a neutron star or a black hole.


I was wondering is it possible to identify an object by detecting what wavelengths of radiation it emits. For example would a ball emit radiation of wavelengths x y and z?

The wavelengths of incoming solar radiation are shorter than the wavelengths of re-radiated heat.

How can astronomers infer which elements are are found in a star?

Atoms in a star's corona are subjected to extremely high levels of energy from the photosphere. This energy excites electrons in the atoms, and causes the electrons to jump up to a higher energy state. When the electrons fall back to their rest state, they emit photons at a very specific set of wavelengths unique to each element. By examining the wavelengths of light coming from a specific star (in a process called astronomical spectroscopy) astronomers are able to decipher with complete certainty which elements are present in that star. . For example, hydrogen emissions are known to occur at 410.2nm (violet), 434.1nm (violet), 486.1nm (blue-green), and 656.3nm (red). When a star is seen to emit a combination of those wavelengths, astronomers can be certain hydrogen is present in the star under observation. . See the related link below for more information on emission spectra.
