When a high-mass star exhausts its nuclear fuel, it undergoes a series of fusion processes, leading to the formation of heavier elements in its core. Eventually, the core becomes unstable and collapses under gravity, triggering a supernova explosion. This explosion briefly outshines entire galaxies and disperses the star's outer layers, enriching the surrounding interstellar medium with heavy elements. The remnant core can become a neutron star or black hole, depending on its mass.
What else can I help you with?
When a high mass star collapes why doesnt it rekindle?
Because all the material that could rekindle it has run out - there is none left.
What will a high mass protostar turn into?
A high mass protostar will eventually evolve into a massive star like a red supergiant, followed by a supernova explosion. After the supernova event, the remnants may form a neutron star or a black hole.
Is the sun a low mass or high mass star and which stage is it in?
The Sun is a medium mass star in main sequence.
Is a supergiant star high mass or low?
High, typically 10 to 70 times (or more) the mass of our own sun.
Which stage follows the red giant stage of star development if the star is a high-mass star?
White dwarf stage. Its shrinks to a lot extent in this stage. Edit: A high mass star is usually one that becomes a supergiant then a supernova. Eventually this should leave either a neutron star or a black hole, depending on the mass of the star. The previous answer is for low mass stars.
When a high mass star collapes why doesnt it rekindle?
Because all the material that could rekindle it has run out - there is none left.
Is the Rigel star a high mass star or a low mass star?
High mass.
When a high mass star collapses it doesnt rekindle why?
Stars don't "burn" chemically like a fire. The energy they release is obtained by fusing light elements into heavier elements. In doing that they convert mass into energy as Einstein described with the equation E=mc2. A high mass star explodes as a supernova, leaving behind a neutron star or a black hole. Neither of those is capable of nuclear fusion.
What is the left over mass of a high mass star called?
A high mass star will leave behind either a neutron star of a black hole.
Is rigel a high or low mass star?
High mass.
Is the sun a high mass star?
no the sun is a medium mass star.
How does a blue star become a yellow star?
It can't. A blue star is a high-mass star. A yellow star has a medium mass.
Is the sun a high mass?
no the sun is a medium mass 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.
What does a high mass and low mass star end as?
white dwarf
What will a high mass protostar turn into?
A high mass protostar will eventually evolve into a massive star like a red supergiant, followed by a supernova explosion. After the supernova event, the remnants may form a neutron star or a black hole.
Is the sun a low mass or high mass star and which stage is it in?
The Sun is a medium mass star in main sequence.
