What type of star would follow the path of the stars evolution?
The type of star an object will evolve into depends on its initial mass. For example, a star like our Sun will eventually become a red giant and then a white dwarf. More massive stars will end their lives as supernovae, neutron stars, or black holes.
What type of stars end their life in supernovae?
Massive stars, typically around eight times the mass of our sun, will end their life in a supernova explosion. During the explosion, the outer layers of the star are expelled into space, leaving behind a dense core known as a neutron star or black hole.
What are the key differences between a type 1a supernova and a type 2 supernova?
Type 1a supernovae occur in binary star systems where one star is a white dwarf that accumulates material from its companion until it reaches a critical mass, causing a thermonuclear explosion. Type 2 supernovae happen when a massive star runs out of fuel and collapses under its own gravity, leading to a powerful explosion. The key difference is the mechanism of the explosion: type 1a is caused by thermonuclear reactions, while type 2 is due to gravitational collapse.
How stars change over time?
Stars change over time as they consume their nuclear fuel, causing them to evolve in different ways depending on their initial mass. Young stars fuse hydrogen into helium in their cores, then progress to heavier elements like carbon and oxygen. Some stars end their lives as white dwarfs, neutron stars, or black holes, while others may go through explosive events like supernovae.
Is a red dwarf star made from a supernova?
No, red dwarf stars are not made from supernovae. Red dwarf stars are low mass stars that form from the gravitational collapse of gas and dust in interstellar clouds. Supernovae, on the other hand, occur when massive stars reach the end of their life cycle and explode.
What stars end their lives as supernovae?
Very large ones.
What type of stars end their lives in a supernovae?
The most massive ones. The exact amount of mass requires varies, depending on the type of supernova, and on the element mix of the initial star.

How do the lives of the most massive stars end?
Less massive stars end up as white dwarfs. More massive stars end up as a supernova or a neutron star or for the really massive stars...as a black hole. As a star ends its time in the main sequence it either becomes a Red Giant and end its life as a White Dwarf or becomes a White Super Giant and ends its life in an explosion (supernova) and if it's really dense it becomes a neutron star or a black hole as mentioned above.

Type 1a supernovae occur in binary star systems where one star is a white dwarf that accumulates material from its companion until it reaches a critical mass, causing a thermonuclear explosion.

How would the universe be different if massive stars did not explode at the end of their lives?
If massive stars did not explode at the end of their lives, they would instead collapse into black holes or neutron stars. This would have implications for the dispersal of heavy elements in the universe, as supernovae play a key role in enriching the cosmos with elements beyond hydrogen and helium. It would also impact the evolution of galaxies and the dynamics of stellar populations.
The largest stars end their lives as what holes?
The largest stars end their lives as black holes. These are regions in space with incredibly strong gravitational forces that can trap even light.

Young stars fuse hydrogen into helium in their cores, then progress to heavier elements like carbon and oxygen.

In what region of the Milky Way Galaxy would you expect to find Type I supernovae Why?
Unlike the other types of supernovae, Type Ia supernovae generally occur in all types ofgalaxies, including ellipticals and they show no preference for regions of current stellar formation - they can occur anywhere in the Milky Way Galaxy.The reason for this is that Type 1 supernovae occur when the remnant of a small star (a white dwarf) accreets enough mass (by gas capture from, or merger with another star) to exceed the Chandrasekhar limit of about 1.38 solar masses. When this mass is exceeded carbon fusion is reignited in the stellar core and the star explodes and as white dwarf stars are to be found everywhere in Galaxies and Globular clusters, the potential for Type 1 supernovae is universal. That said, obviously you would not expect to find White Dwarf stars in current star forming areas (because the dwarf forms at the end of a stars main sequence life). However Galactic rotation mixes old stars with new stars relatively quickly and this separation rapidly blurs.
Which class of violently exploding stars whose luminosity after eruption suddenly increases millions of times?
One class of violently exploding stars that experience a sudden increase in luminosity after eruption are supernovae. Supernovae occur when a massive star reaches the end of its life cycle and undergoes a catastrophic explosion, briefly outshining an entire galaxy. These events are crucial for the dispersal of heavy elements and the formation of new stars.
Is a red dwarf star made from a supernova?
No, red dwarf stars are not made from supernovae. Red dwarf stars are low mass stars that form from the gravitational collapse of gas and dust in interstellar clouds. Supernovae, on the other hand, occur when massive stars reach the end of their life cycle and explode.
