- If the mass of the dead star is high enough, gravity will overcome electron degeneracy pressure holding the dead star up. Electrons will fall from their ground state into the nuclei, turning protons into neutrons and all the nuclei will merge forming a neutron star held up by neutron degeneracy pressure. If it stops here, the infalling outer layers that have not yet become neutrons crash into the super hard surface of the neutron star initiating a shockwave that propagates outward. This outgoing shockwave creates the supernova.
- If the mass of the neutron star is high enough, gravity will overcome neutron degeneracy pressure holding the neutron star up. A black hole will form. However all of the neutron star can't fall into the black hole instantly. A shockwave forms just outside the event horizon that propagates outward. This outgoing shockwave creates the supernova.
What else can I help you with?
What factor determines what happens to the star after a supernova?
Mass decides a stars ultimate fate.
How big is a supernova star compared to your sun?
A supernova is much larger and brighter than a regular, stable star like our sun. During a supernova event, the star can briefly outshine an entire galaxy before fading away. The process of a supernova represents the violent death of a massive star.
What happens after a supernova of a very massive star?
After a supernova of a very massive star, the core collapses to form either a neutron star or a black hole. The outer layers of the star are ejected into space, enriching the surrounding environment with heavy elements. A bright burst of radiation, known as a gamma-ray burst, may also be emitted during this process.
What happens when a high mass star exhausts its fuel?
It will probably explode as a supernova, leaving either a neutron star or black hole.
What is Betelgeuse going to do when it dies?
Betelgeuse will die in a massive explosion called a supernova. When this happens it will appear brighter than the full moon.
What is a supernova and what happens?
A supernova is the catastrophic death of a star, characterized by a massive output of energy.
What happens to the gases given off during a supernova?
The gases given off during a supernova disperse into space, contributing to the enrichment of the interstellar medium with elements synthesized in the star's core during the explosion. These gases can trigger the formation of new stars and planets in the future.
What happens if all the stars supernova?
we all die
Is it a huge explosion of a small explosion when a supernova happens?
It is yes
What happens to a burnt out star?
If it's a big enough explosion it will become a supernova
What element is normally a rement of a supernova?
Elements such as gold, silver, and uranium are typically remnants of a supernova explosion. These heavy elements are formed during the intense energy release of a supernova event.
What is the name of the material sent into space by a supernova called?
The material sent into space by a supernova is called supernova ejecta. It includes elements such as hydrogen, helium, carbon, oxygen, and heavier elements created during the supernova explosion.
What happens during the life cycle of a starwith one stellar mass?
a star with 2-3 stellar masses would become a red supergiant then a supernova and then become a neutron star.
What is the name for a supernova cloud?
Nebula. Some nebulae are formed as the result of supernova explosions. The material thrown off from the supernova explosion is ionized by the supernova remnant. One of the best examples of this is the Crab Nebula, in Taurus. It is the result of a recorded supernova, SN 1054, in the year 1054 and at the centre of the nebula is a neutron star, created during the explosion.
What happens in a year to a supernova?
It's gamma rays will have traveled one light year.
What happens after a nebula contracts and it temperature increases to 10 million k?
A supernova occurs.
What happens after a nebula contract and its temperature increases 10 million k?
A supernova occurs.
