It depends on the mass of the star and how much of the star actually goes into the remnant.

Stars between 10 and 25 times the mass of the sun form neutron stars. Stars over 40 solar masses form black holes. Stars between 25 and 40 solar masses can form either depending on how much of the star is blown away during the supernova and how much falls back into the collapsing core.

Do massive stars become neutron stars?

Some massive stars will become neutron stars. When massive stars die they will either become neutron stars or black holes depending on how much mass is left behind.


Can any black hole turn into a neutron star?

No, black holes cannot turn into neutron stars. Neutron stars form from the remnants of supernova explosions of massive stars, while black holes are formed from the gravitational collapse of massive stars. Once a black hole is formed, it will remain a black hole and will not transform into a neutron star.


Do black holes and neutron stars have any connection?

Yes, both black holes and neutron stars are remnants of the death of massive stars. Neutron stars form when the core of a massive star collapses but does not produce a black hole. Black holes are formed when the core of a massive star collapses beyond the neutron star stage.


Where are neutron stars located at in the universe?

Mostly in galaxies, where they can form Super Massive Black Holes.


What are the remnants of a high mass star?

Massive stars become neutron stars, or black holes (depending on how much mass is left at the end of a star's lifetime).


Medium size stars become black holes true or false?

False. Medium-sized stars become white dwarfs. Only the most massive stars form black holes.


Are dead stars black holes?

Dead stars are not necessarily black holes. Dead stars can become white dwarfs, neutron stars, or black holes depending on their mass. Only the most massive dead stars can collapse further to become black holes if they exceed the Chandrasekhar limit, around 1.4 times the mass of the Sun.


Which stars primarily end up as black holes?

The most massive stars become black holes.


Do medium size stars become black holes?

No. They do not have enough mass to become black holes. Depending on the mass they will either become white dwarfs or neutron stars.


What is the difference between stars that become white dwarfs stars that become neutron stars and stars that become black holes?

The difference is in mass. Low to medium mass stars (up to about 8-10 solar masses) become white dwarfs. Massive stars (10 to 25 solar masses) become neutron stars. Stars above 25 solar masses tend to become black holes.


These stars are produced during a supernova event?

The stars produced during a supernova event are known as neutron stars or black holes. Neutron stars are extremely dense remnants of massive stars, while black holes are formed when the core of a massive star collapses. Both neutron stars and black holes have unique properties and play a significant role in the cosmic landscape.


Why are black holes formed?

black holes can be formed in a supernova explosion if the mass of the star is largeenoughusually they are created when a massive and dense star like a neutron star collapses
