When blue stars die they become white dwarfs?
No. Blue stars will generally leave behind neutron stars or black holes.
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.
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.
What happens when stars get together do they make a black hole?
If you mean the stars smashing together:Yes AND No, yes if the stars are neutron stars, they'll go supernova and cause a black hole.. or if the stars are white dwarf and bigger stars,no if the 2 stars are yellow main sequences. if main sequence yellows they'll make a blue star or a blue straggler.
What are the smallest stars?
The smallest stars are called neutron stars.They typically have a diameter of only 12kmthe smallest star is the neutron star from the word "neutron"
What is a neutron star collision?
That would be a collission between two neutron stars. Since many stars are actually double stars, this can happen now and then.
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.
Why is there an upper limit to the mass of neutron stars?
There is an upper limit to the mass of neutron stars because if the neutron star is too massive, neutrons would be crushed by the gravity of the neutron star, and the neutron star would collapse into a black hole.
How small are neutron stars?
Neutron stars range in size from 20 to 40 kilometers (12 to24 miles) in diameter.
Why are neutron stars so heavy?
Neutron stars are so heavy because they are the compact core of a star that is 8 time the mass of our Sun. The most massive neutron stars possible are 3 times the mass of our Sun.
Which stars are composed of matter in which electrons have combined with protons?
Stars may collapse to such a degree, perhaps after a supernova, that, in the core, electrons are squashed into the nucleus, reacting with protons to form neutrons. A star of this collapsed state is called neutron stars.
What are the heaviest things?
neutron stars
