A nova is created when additional material is accreted onto the hot surface of a white dwarf.
If sufficient material is accreted that pushes the mass of the white dwarf over the Chandrasekhar limit of about 1.38 solar masses a type Ia supernova will occur.

∙ 14y agoA star that becomes a white dwarf simply does not have the mass to become a neutron star. White dwarfs are the the remnants of a star very similar to our own sun in mass, where it takes a much more massive star to create a neutron star, Like the star Betelgeuse is a prime example of a star that does not have the mass to become a black hole but is massive enough to become a neutron star.

a neutron star was (is) heavy enough to compress electrons into protons to make neutrons.

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.
Which stars do not have nuclear fusion occurring in their core?
All stars "burn" by the process of nuclear fusion. When fusion has been completed, the star dies. That can occur in several different ways and the interested party could look into the topic of stellar evolution. Neutron stars, black holes and white dwarfs are examples of end stages of stellar evolution. Some stars never really reach the stage of fusion and such large objects are called brown dwarfs. If Jupiter were not a planet, it might be deemed a brown dwarf.
What was the Seven Dwarfs house called?
The Dwarfs house is called the Dwarfs small cottage. In Disney's Snow White. There was no name in that cottage. But one author made a name of it 2 years after Disney made the cartoon version. The author named it Dwarfs small cottage because the Dwarfs were in a small cottage in the forest.
Why are white dwarfs important?
Well, they don't affect us directly... But it's interesting to know that most stars - and pressumably that will include our Sun - will end up as a white dwarf, eventually. The exception is the most massive stars, which become neutron stars or black holes.
What is the duration of Even Dwarfs Started Small?
The duration of Even Dwarfs Started Small is 1.6 hours.
What is the diffrance between stars that become white dwarfs and stars that become neutron stars?
Stars that become white dwarfs die but become black holes . Neutron stars are born from a Super Nova that stored its energy and became a neutron star.
What do white dwarfs and neutron stars have in common?
Both white dwarfs and neutron stars are extremely dense remnants of the collapsed cores of dead stars.
What has the author Dongsu Kyu written?
Dongsu Kyu has written: 'Neutron stars and white dwarfs in galactic halos?' -- subject(s): White dwarfs, Neutron stars
Is this true or false brown dwarfs white dwarfs and neutron stars are all kept from collapsing by degeneracy pressure?
True.
What are the smallest stars?
The smallest stars are called neutron stars.They typically have a diameter of only 12kmthe smallest star is the neutron star from the word "neutron"
What stars have the highest densities?
Black holes, neutron stars, and the white dwarfs
What is the difference between star that become white dwarfs and stars that become neutron stars?
the simple reson is mass.......that is if the star under consideration is a heavy one, it is more likely to turn into a black hole and if it is comparatively smaller it is prone to turn into a neutron star or a white dwarf
What is a Very small hot star?
Both white dwarfs and neutron stars match the description. Neutron stars are smaller, hotter, and denser.
What is a small hot very dense star?
Both white dwarfs and neutron stars match the description. Neutron stars are smaller, hotter, and denser.
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.
Could an average stars such as our sun become a neutron star?
No. Stars such as our sun become white dwarfs. Only stars 8-10 times the mass of the sun or more become neutron stars.
When blue stars die they become white dwarfs?
No. Blue stars will generally leave behind neutron stars or black holes.
