When a stars nuclear energy runs out it dies A star can die in many ways A is one way a star might die and it can trigger the beginning of a new star's life cycle?
One way a star might die is by going through a supernova explosion. This explosion can release massive amounts of energy and trigger the formation of a new star through the remnants left behind, such as in a supernova remnant.
What is left after a supernova explosion?
Well, after a magnificent supernova explosion, we are left with either a dense core called a neutron star or, if the star was very massive, a black hole. These remnants continue to inspire the formation of new stars and galaxies in the endless beauty of our universe. Just remember, there is always something beautiful waiting to emerge after every cosmic event.
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 difference between a planetary nebula and a supernova remnant?
A planetary nebula is formed when a medium-sized star, like our Sun, exhausts its nuclear fuel and sheds its outer layers, leaving behind a hot core that ionizes the ejected gas, creating a glowing shell. In contrast, a supernova remnant results from the explosive death of a massive star, which leads to a supernova explosion that disperses the star's material at high velocities. While both involve the ejection of stellar material, planetary nebulae are generally less energetic and arise from less massive stars, whereas supernova remnants are the remnants of more massive stars and exhibit more complex dynamics and higher energy outputs.
What is the final stage of super giant stars?
The final stage of supergiant stars is a supernova explosion. When these massive stars exhaust their nuclear fuel, they can no longer support their own gravity, leading to a catastrophic collapse of the core. This collapse results in a rebound effect that expels the outer layers, creating a bright and powerful explosion. Depending on the mass of the original star, the remnant can become a neutron star or a black hole.
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 are three objects that can be formed from the materials on the core of a supernova?
Neutron star: A dense remnant composed primarily of neutrons formed from the collapsing core of a massive star during a supernova explosion. Black hole: A region of spacetime where gravity is so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape, formed when the core of a massive star collapses during a supernova. Heavy elements: Elements with atomic numbers higher than iron, such as gold, uranium, and platinum, are created during the intense temperatures and pressures of a supernova explosion.
What is a neutral star?
A neutral star is not a commonly recognized astronomical term. It might refer to a hypothetical type of star that has a balance between radiation pressures and gravitational forces, leading to stable behavior. However, if you meant a neutron star, it is a dense remnant of a supernova explosion composed mostly of neutrons.
Is a black hole a supernova remnant?
No, a black hole is not typically a supernova remnant. A black hole is formed when a massive star collapses under its own gravity, creating a region of spacetime from which nothing, not even light, can escape. On the other hand, a supernova remnant is the leftover material from a massive star's explosion in a supernova event.
What is the Vela Supernova?
The Vela Supernova is the remnant of a supernova explosion that occurred in the Vela constellation about 11,000 to 12,300 years ago. It is located about 800 light-years away from Earth and is one of the closest known supernova remnants to us.
The Crab Nebula is a supernova remnant In which constellation is it located?
The Crab Nebula is located in the constellation of Taurus. It is about 6,500 light-years away from Earth and is the result of a supernova explosion that was observed in the year 1054.
Can a pulsar change into a supernova?
No. A pulsar is a remnant left behind by a supernova.
What Remnant can stretch over a distance of several light-years?
A supernova remnant.
What is Cassiopeia's scientific name?
Cassiopeia's scientific name is Cassiopeia A. It is the remnant of a supernova explosion located in the constellation Cassiopeia, and it is a strong source of radio waves.
Why is the Crab Nebula considered a supernova remnant?
Because it IS a supernova remnant. It's the visial remains of a star that expolded and was seen in 1054. Designated SN 1054.
Is crab nebula same as supernova?
It's not the same as a supernova--the Crab Nebula is the visible remnant of a supernova event which occurred about 7,500 years ago. The light from the supernova explosion reached the earth and was observed by Chinese and Arab astronomers about 1,000 years ago. The Crab Nebula was the first object to be identified with a supernova which was actually observed during recorded history.
What is a neatron star?
Let me presume that the questioner means "neutron star". When a massive star dies in a supernova explosion, one possible outcome is that the remnant left behind is a neutron star. It's called that because it is essentially completely composed of neutrons; in effect, it is an atomic nucleus several kilometers in diameter. It gets that way because it is so massive (greater than 1.4 times the mass of the Sun) that gravity crushes the protons and electrons together to make neutrons. Packing all of these neutrons together with the already-existing neutrons gives rise to a quantum-mechanical pressure that prevents the star from collapsing any further. So the remnant becomes a giant ball of neutrons. If the remnant is more massive than about 3 times the mass of the Sun, gravity will overcome even the resisting pressure of the neutrons, and will crush the remnant to form a black hole. No known mechanism can resist this high gravitational force, and the equations of general relativity tell us that the remnant will be crushed to a mathematical point. (Additional quantum-mechanical effects will doubtless kick in before that happens, but as we do not yet have a full theory of quantum gravity, we don't really know the true outcome.)
