What happens when a star 3 times 5 times and 20 times the mass of the sun?
Complete Question here: For three mass stars (a) a star with a mass three times the mass of the sun, (b) a star with a mass 5 times mass of the sun and (c) a star with a mass 20 times the mass of the sun --> in each case describe the possible final state of the star after all its fuel is exhausted. --> comment on the masses, size and density of these states. --> for each of the end states, briefly describe experimental observations that allow us to find, identify, and verify the existence of object left after star has exhausted its fuel and collapsed to a final state. As an example how do we know that neuron stars exist.
What is a low- meduim- mass star the becomes the end of its life?
A low to medium-mass star eventually evolves into a red giant as it runs out of fuel in its core. After shedding its outer layers, the star will collapse into a white dwarf, which is the end stage of its life cycle.
Does a low mass star end its life as a white dwarf?
Yes, a low mass star will end its life cycle as a white dwarf. After exhausting its nuclear fuel, the star will shed its outer layers to form a planetary nebula, leaving behind the dense core known as a white dwarf.
What is the relationship between a black hole and a neutron star?
Think of a black hole like the neutron star's big brother. When a star reaches the end of its life, it blows off its outer layer in a supernova and leaves behind a stellar remnant. The mass of the star, during its life, determines what is left behind by its death. For relatively low mass stars (such as our own star), the remnant is a white dwarf. Get much larger than about 1.4 times our own star's mass and you end up with a neutron star. The exact upper mass limit for neutron star formation isn't known for certain, but the estimate is something between 2 and 3 times our own star's mass. Above that, and the remnant core collapses into a black hole.
What is the most likely fate of star with a mass 8 times that of the sun?
A star 8 times the mass of the sun will most likely explode in a supernova.
How does a star's mass indicate lifetime?
When a star is at the end of its lifetime its mass increases.
What does a high mass and low mass star end as?
white dwarf
How does a stars mass indicate?
When a star is at the end of its lifetime its mass increases.
What might be the end point of a star with a mass larger than the sun?
It can become a white dwarf, a neutron star or a black hole, depending on the mass that remains at the end of the star's life.
Is a stars eventual fate determined by its initial mass or by the mass it has at the end of it's life?
Ultimately the mass a star has at the end of its life depends on its initial mass. This mass determines what stages a star will go through in its death throws.
How does a stars mass indicate its lifetime?
When a star is at the end of its lifetime its mass increases.
What characteristic determines if a star will end its life as a black hole or neutron star?
The mass of the star.
Low mass stars will become a when they die. A high mass star will end up as a or a?
A low mass star will become a white dwarf star, eventually this will cool to become a black dwarf. A high mass star (at least 8 times the mass of our Sun) will form a neutron star or a black hole, after a supernova event.
How does the birth of the star affect its destiny?
The birth of a star is all related to mass and it's ultimate end.
What is the name of the black eyed peas album with meet you half way?
the end
What is a name for a exploding star?
when a star is at the end of its life(depending on mass) a star will sponaniously explode into a supernova. or it will collapse into a black hole.
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).
