What else can I help you with?
What characteristic determines if a star will end its life as a black hole or neutron star?
The mass of the star.
What is after super giant star?
After a supergiant star, the star can evolve into a supernova, which is a massive explosion that signals the end of the star's life. Depending on the mass of the star, it can then collapse into a neutron star or a black hole.
How long does it take for a star to form after it explodes?
When a star explodes, that's the end of the star. The stellar remnant - either a neutron star or a black hole is created instantly.
What might be the end point of a star with a mass larger than the sun?
It can become a white dwarf, a neutron star or a black hole, depending on the mass that remains at the end of the star's life.
How large does a star need to be to end life as a neutron star?
From approximately 1.5 to 2.0 solar masses snow FAR
If a star begins its evolution with a mass ten times that of the sun but finishes with a mass 2 times that of the sun what type of object does it form?
The star would end its evolution as a neutron star. This is because during its evolution, the star would go through stages of fusion until it exhausts its fuel and undergoes a supernova explosion, leaving behind a dense core that collapses into a neutron star due to gravitational forces.
Will our sun end up like a neutron star?
No, our sun is not massive enough to become a neutron star. When our sun runs out of fuel, it will shed its outer layers and become a planetary nebula, leaving behind a dense core called a white dwarf.
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 is the relationship between a black hole and a neutron star?
Think of a black hole like the neutron star's big brother. When a star reaches the end of its life, it blows off its outer layer in a supernova and leaves behind a stellar remnant. The mass of the star, during its life, determines what is left behind by its death. For relatively low mass stars (such as our own star), the remnant is a white dwarf. Get much larger than about 1.4 times our own star's mass and you end up with a neutron star. The exact upper mass limit for neutron star formation isn't known for certain, but the estimate is something between 2 and 3 times our own star's mass. Above that, and the remnant core collapses into a black hole.
What is a gravitational collapsed object?
That description may refer to any of the end-phases in the lifetime of a star: a white dwarf; a neutron star; or a black hole.
What does a neutron star become after it dies?
It's possible that two neutron stars could collide; if that happened, the combined mass & gravitational attraction might be enough to collapse the combined object into a black hole. Otherwise, it will be a neutron star until the end of the universe.
How do neutron stars differ from other giant stars?
A neutron star is the "end of the line" for a giant star that exploded as a supernova. The material in a neutron star is packed so densely that a chunk of it the size of a cigarette package would weigh thousands of tons. It spins rapidly, at a steady rate (they are sometimes called "radio beacon stars").
