A star the size of two stellar masses forms as a result of a supernova explosion what is the star called?
Following certain types of Supernova events there can often be a gravitational collapse of massive stars and this can result in the stellar remnant becoming a neutron star. Based on the Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff limit the solar mass of a neutron star can range from 1.5 to 3.0 solar masses.

What is the range of masses for a supernova?
The range of masses for a supernova typically falls between about 8 to 50 times the mass of the sun. When a star that massive runs out of nuclear fuel, it undergoes a catastrophic collapse resulting in a supernova explosion. Smaller stars may end their lives in a different type of explosion called a nova.
If the core of a supernova explosion contains three or more solar masses of matter the core will most likely become a what?
If the core of a supernova explosion contains three or more solar masses of matter, it will most likely become a black hole. The gravitational force is so strong that the core collapses into a singularity, forming a black hole.
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 if left behind after a star with four or more stellar masses has died?
When a star with four or more solar masses exhausts its nuclear fuel, it undergoes a supernova explosion, leaving behind a dense core. This remnant can become a neutron star if the core's mass is below about three solar masses, or it may collapse into a black hole if it exceeds that limit. The explosion disperses the outer layers into space, enriching the surrounding medium with heavy elements forged during the star's life and explosive death.
What stellar event produced elements with atomic masses greater than iron?
Supernova explosions are responsible for producing elements with atomic masses greater than iron through nucleosynthesis processes. During these violent events, heavy elements are forged from lighter elements through rapid fusion reactions.

Select the star life cycle that is accurate.?
Star of three stellar masses, Red giant, Supernova, Neutron Star Hope this helps! :) 5/3/21
How many solar masses does a star have to have before a supernova is produced?
A star must have at least 8 times the mass of the Sun in order to undergo a supernova explosion at the end of its life cycle. This is because stars need to have enough mass to generate the tremendous pressure and temperature required for a supernova to occur.
When a star that is more than 40 times bigger than the sun dies what is it called?
It depends. With current theoretical knowledge, a star of this mass has two possible outcomes. 1) It erupts in a cataclysmic explosion as a supernova and then forms into a black hole or 2) If the mass is high enough, currently believed to be around 50 solar masses, it will form directly into a black hole without the supernova.
Small dense star that remains after a red giant?
"Stellar masses" is not a unit of mass - perhaps you mean "solar masses". Depending on the remaining mass - after the supernova explosion - either a neutron star or a black hole. In the case of four stellar masses, probably a neutron star; it would require a more massive star than that to become a black hole.
What is the significance of 3 solar masses in a star's fate?
After a high-mass star explodes as supernova and leaves a core behind, the core would become a neutron star or a black hole. If the core is less than 3 solar masses, it would become a neutron star; if the mass exceeds 3 solar masses, the core would continue to collapse, forming a black hole.
A supernova reaction occurs in the life cycle of which type of star?
A supernova reaction occurs in the life cycle of a massive star that has exhausted its nuclear fuel and reaches the end of its life. The core of the star collapses under gravity, causing a powerful explosion that briefly outshines an entire galaxy.
How do super massive rare stars end their life as?
The most massive stars will end up as black holes. Those are the stars that have more than approximately 3 solar masses at the end of their life - i.e., AFTER the supernova explosion.
