Stars like R136a1, the most massive star known, go hypernova, but fail to leave behind even a black hole. A supernova remnant on steroids would be what is left. Stars like VY Canis Majoris, which are less massive, also conclude their lives with a hypernova, but produce a black hole, which fires intense gamma ray bursts. We could be in the gun barrel of WR104, which has an axis which seems to point right towards us.
What else can I help you with?
Is the Rigel star a high mass star or a low mass star?
High mass.
Low mass stars will become a when they die. A high mass star will end up as a or a?
A low mass star will become a white dwarf star, eventually this will cool to become a black dwarf. A high mass star (at least 8 times the mass of our Sun) will form a neutron star or a black hole, after a supernova event.
What is the single important factor controlling the evolution of a star?
The total mass. That will determine the life cycle of the star, the nature of its death and of the remnants after its death.
What is the main factor that shapes the life and death of a star?
The main factor that shapes the life and death of a star is its mass. The more massive the star, the faster it burns through its fuel and the faster it evolves. The mass of a star determines its temperature, luminosity, and eventual fate, such as whether it will end as a white dwarf, neutron star, or black hole.
Is the Altair star high mass?
Altair is classified as an A-type main-sequence star, which means it is relatively high-mass compared to other stars like the Sun. Its mass is estimated to be about 1.8 times that of the Sun.
Is the Rigel star a high mass star or a low mass star?
High mass.
What is the left over mass of a high mass star called?
A high mass star will leave behind either a neutron star of a black hole.
Is rigel a high or low mass star?
High mass.
Is the sun a high mass star?
no the sun is a medium mass star.
What happens when a high mass star dies, and what are the consequences of its death?
When a high mass star dies, it undergoes a supernova explosion, where the outer layers are ejected into space and the core collapses. The consequences of its death include the formation of elements heavier than iron, the release of a tremendous amount of energy and radiation, and the potential creation of a black hole or neutron star.
How does a blue star become a yellow star?
It can't. A blue star is a high-mass star. A yellow star has a medium mass.
Is the sun a high mass?
no the sun is a medium mass star.
Low mass stars will become a when they die. A high mass star will end up as a or a?
A low mass star will become a white dwarf star, eventually this will cool to become a black dwarf. A high mass star (at least 8 times the mass of our Sun) will form a neutron star or a black hole, after a supernova event.
What does a high mass and low mass star end as?
white dwarf
What will a high mass protostar turn into?
A high mass protostar will eventually evolve into a massive star like a red supergiant, followed by a supernova explosion. After the supernova event, the remnants may form a neutron star or a black hole.
Is the sun a low mass or high mass star and which stage is it in?
The Sun is a medium mass star in main sequence.
Is a supergiant star high mass or low?
High, typically 10 to 70 times (or more) the mass of our own sun.
