Neutron stars smaller then white dwarfs are thought to be remnants of?

Neutron stars smaller than white dwarfs are thought to be remnants of massive stars that have undergone supernova explosions. When these stars exhaust their nuclear fuel, they collapse under their own gravity, resulting in a neutron star if the core's mass is sufficient. In contrast, white dwarfs are formed from less massive stars that shed their outer layers, leaving behind a dense core. Therefore, neutron stars represent the end stage of more massive stellar evolution compared to white dwarfs.


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 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


Do low mass and medium mass stars eventually become neutron stars?

No, low mass stars do not become neutron stars. Low mass stars like the Sun end their lives as white dwarfs. Medium mass stars can evolve into neutron stars, but they must first go through the supernova stage to shed their outer layers and leave behind a dense core of neutrons.


Pulsars cannot be spinning white dwarfs because?

because of the great mass of the star, the gravity of it is very high. So after its death, it actually contracts so tightly that even protons and electrons combine to form neutron and thus results to a star called neutron star. If its previous mass is considerably low, then it could have become a white dwarf

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.

In what ways are neutron stars and white dwarfs similar?

Neutron stars and white dwarfs are both remnants of dead stars, but neutron stars are much denser and have stronger gravitational forces compared to white dwarfs. Both objects are composed mostly of degenerate matter, but neutron stars are made up of neutrons while white dwarfs are made up of electrons.

When blue stars die they become white dwarfs?

No. Blue stars will generally leave behind neutron stars or black holes.


Why are white dwarfs common?

White dwarfs are the remnants of dead low to medium mass stars, which is the mass range of the majority of stars.


What stellar remnants can form when stars die?

When a star dies, it can leave behind different types of stellar remnants depending on its mass. Some examples include white dwarfs, neutron stars, and black holes. White dwarfs are formed from the remnants of low to medium mass stars, neutron stars are formed from the remnants of massive stars, and black holes are formed from the remnants of the most massive stars.

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.
