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.
When can a burnt-out collapsing star rekindle itself?
A burnt-out collapsing star can rekindle itself if it has sufficient mass and conditions are right for nuclear fusion to resume. In the case of a massive star that has shed its outer layers, it might undergo a process called a supernova, which can trigger fusion in the core if the conditions allow. Additionally, in binary systems, a white dwarf can gain enough material from a companion star to reignite fusion. However, for most stars that exhaust their nuclear fuel, rekindling is not feasible.
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.
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.
