What is a main sequence star with less than 0.4 solar masses?
A main sequence star with less than 0.4 solar masses would be classified as a red dwarf star. These stars are the smallest and coolest main sequence stars, with longer lifespans compared to higher mass stars. They are the most common type of star in the universe.
Is it possible to make Jupiter a star if you applied more mass to it?
No, Jupiter does not have enough mass to become a star. It is a gas giant planet made primarily of hydrogen and helium, but it would need at least 80 times its current mass to ignite nuclear fusion and become a star like our Sun.
What is the mass of Barnards star?
Barnards star has a mass of between 0.15 and 0.17 solar masses.
Which star is largest Sirius or Algol?
Sirius is larger than Algol. Sirius is a binary star system with Sirius A being the larger star with about twice the mass of the Sun, while Algol is a triple star system with the main star being smaller than Sirius A.
Does 600 billion solar masses equal to 600 billion stars?
Not necessarily. In simplest form, 600 billion solar masses simply means that something is 600 billion times more massive than the sun, regardless of what it is. The sun is more massive than the average star, so if we are talking about stars alone, then 600 billion masses would be equivalent to more than 600 billion stars. It would also depend on what the context is. For example if a galaxy is 600 billion solar masses, much of that mass would be in interstellar gas and dust clouds in addition to stars.
What is the significance of 3 solar masses in a star's fate?
After a high-mass star explodes as supernova and leaves a core behind, the core would become a neutron star or a black hole. If the core is less than 3 solar masses, it would become a neutron star; if the mass exceeds 3 solar masses, the core would continue to collapse, forming a black hole.
What forms from a supernova?
Depending on the mass of the original star it will either end up as a neutron star (< 20 solar masses) or a black hole (> 20 solar masses).
What is a stelar black hole?
That refers to a black hole that results from the gravitational collapse of a star, and which has a mass between 3 solar masses and several solar masses, depending on the mass of the star that collapsed.
What the mass of Barnard's star?
Barnards star has a mass of between 0.15 and 0.17 solar masses.
What is a main sequence star with less than 0.4 solar masses?
A main sequence star with less than 0.4 solar masses would be classified as a red dwarf star. These stars are the smallest and coolest main sequence stars, with longer lifespans compared to higher mass stars. They are the most common type of star in the universe.
Why do you not expect to find a 5 solar mass neutron star?
There are no neutron stars with 5 solar masses because one if a neutron star exceeds 3 solar masses, the neutrons inside would no longer be able to support the extreme gravity, so the neutron star would then collapse into a black hole.A neutron star is prevented from further collapse by a force call neutron degeneracy pressure. Above 3 solar masses gravity will overcome this force and the stellar remnant will collapse completely to form a black hole.
Is it possible to make Jupiter a star if you applied more mass to it?
No, Jupiter does not have enough mass to become a star. It is a gas giant planet made primarily of hydrogen and helium, but it would need at least 80 times its current mass to ignite nuclear fusion and become a star like our Sun.
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
What type of star is leftover center of an old star?
If you mean after a supernova it could be a neutron star if it's less than 3 solar masses
What is left behind after a star with four masses has died?
After a star with four solar masses dies, it can collapse and form either a neutron star or a black hole, depending on how much material is left behind after the explosion during its death throes.
What is the mass of Barnards star?
Barnards star has a mass of between 0.15 and 0.17 solar masses.
What determines whether a very massive star will become a neutron?
Whether a star will become a neutron star is determined by its mass. Generally, stars that are more than 8 solar masses (have a mass that is more than 8 times that of our Sun), but are less than 15 solar masses will become neutron stars when they die.
