What else can I help you with?
Will Sirius become a supernova?
No, Sirius will not become a supernova. It is a relatively young star compared to those that typically go supernova, and its mass is not sufficient to trigger such an explosive event. Sirius is expected to eventually evolve into a white dwarf.
When will Sirius the star become a Black Dwarf?
Sirius, the brightest star in the night sky, is a binary system consisting of Sirius A and Sirius B. Sirius B, which is a white dwarf, will eventually cool and fade into a black dwarf over an estimated timeframe of trillions of years. However, the universe is not old enough for any black dwarfs to currently exist, including Sirius B. Therefore, Sirius A and B will not become a black dwarf for billions of years, far beyond the current age of the universe.
What is the final stage for Sirius b?
Sirius B is already a white dwarf. The next transformation will be to become a black dwarf, but not for many many years.
What is the life and death of Sirius the star?
Sirius's fate might be peaceful; just ejecting it's outer red giant layers to make a planetary nebula. It is 2.02 times the mass of the Sun. However, Sirius has a white dwarf companion. On Sirius B's death, Sirius A might have formed. At the other end, Sirius B might destroy Sirius A. White dwarfs have very strong gravity, and if it is close enough, Sirius B might steal material from Sirius A. When a white dwarf stealing mass from the parent star has enough mass to create iron, the iron triggers a Type 1a supernova. If this happens to Sirius B, Sirius A could either be destroyed by the immense force of the explosion, or become a runaway star, travelling faster than even Barnard's Star. If this is the case, Sirius A might eat smaller stars or crash and burn into a larger star. If it heads towards us if this happens, we would be doomed.
What happens when Sirius dies?
he dies in the order if the phoenix, bellatrix kills him
Is Sirius a a white dwarf?
No, but Sirius B is,
How far apart are Sirius A and Sirius B?
Sirius is a binary star system Sirius A and Sirius B.The distance separating Sirius A from B varies between 8.1 and 31.5 AU. (See related question).
What color is Sirius B?
Sirius B is a white dwarf. As the name suggests, it will appear white.
Where is Sirius b located in the night sky?
Sirius, which consists of both Sirius A and Sirius B is in the constellation Canis Major, which, if you are looking south, appears below and to the left of Orion. Sirius B itself is too dim to be seen from Earth; the vast majority of the light from Sirius is from Sirius A. Even then, as a binary system, the two stars are too close together for us to see them separately.
Is 'Sirius C' real or not?
It is not real. Sirius is a two-star system containing only Sirius A and Sirius B.
Does B Sirius cause Sirius A to wobble?
Sure - the two attract each other. In the case of a double star - as Sirius A and Sirius B - both revolve around their common center of mass.
What is the absolute and apparent magnitude of Sirius B?
Sirius B is a faint white dwarf companion of Sirius A It has an apparent magnitude of +8.3 and an absolute magnitude of +11.18
