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.
Is Sirius a a white dwarf?
No, but Sirius B is,
What happens when Sirius dies?
he dies in the order if the phoenix, bellatrix kills him
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
