What would happen if a white dwarf gained enough mass to reach the 1.4 solar-mass white dwarf limit?
If a white dwarf gained enough mass to reach the 1.4 solar-mass white dwarf limit, it would undergo a catastrophic event known as a Type Ia supernova. This explosion would release a tremendous amount of energy and result in the complete destruction of the white dwarf.
What happens to the size of a white dwarf when its mass is increased?
When the mass of a white dwarf increases, its size decreases. This is because the increased mass causes the white dwarf to contract under its own gravity, making it smaller and denser.
What is the upper limit to the mass of a white dwarf?
The upper limit to the mass of a white dwarf is about 1.4 times the mass of the Sun, known as the Chandrasekhar limit. Beyond this point, the white dwarf may collapse and explode in a supernova event.
How long will the sun be a red giant before it transitions into a white dwarf?
The sun will be a red giant for about 1 billion years before transitioning into a white dwarf.
Is a white dwarf star is one that does not have fuel to make is own energy?
That's called a "black dwarf". Such objects are hypothetical; they are not expected to exist yet, since it takes a white dwarf longer, to cool down to a black dwarf, than the current age of the Universe.
What are the features of a dwarf planet?
Being small. Other than that, there are great differences, for example, between a red dwarf, a white dwarf, and a black dwarf, so I suggest you ask more specific questions.
What type of stars has a low temperature and high luminosity?
A white dwarf.A white dwarf.A white dwarf.A white dwarf.
Why would a white dwarf become a red dwarf?
A white dwarf could not become a red dwarf. A white dwarf is a remnant of a dead star. A red dwarf is a star with a very low mass.
Are white dwarf stars always white?
No in the life cycle of a star, a white dwarf can cool and become a black dwarf
What is a cooled white dwarf star that is extremely dense?
A cooled white dwarf is a black dwarf. I think you are thinking of a neutron star which has nothing to do with a white dwarf.
What type of star has a high temperature and low luminosity in the HR diagram?
A blue dwarf star would have high temperature and low luminosity in the Hertzsprung-Russell (HR) diagram. Blue dwarf stars are in the lower left corner of the diagram, characterized by their high surface temperature and faint luminosity compared to other stars of similar temperature.
The sun will eventually end up as a?
white dwarf star
Is the white dwarf the biggest star?
No a white dwarf is a small compact star.
Are white dwarf stars young?
No. A white dwarf is a remnant of a dead star.
A star that is very hot but dim is a?
That might be a white dwarf.
When was The White Dwarf created?
The White Dwarf was created on 1963-02-17.
When was White Dwarf - magazine - created?
White Dwarf - magazine - was created in 1977.
