Answer to previous quiz (click here) Option D- (All of the above) "The ultimate fate of the star whether it is a white dwarf, Neutron star or a Black Hole depends on its initial mass. It's funny, because the more wacky combinations of stars and compact object (white dwarf, neutron star, or black hole) we find or imagine, the more remarkable evolutionary scenarios astronomers can conceive of playing out. Short duration gamma-ray bursts are thought to be caused by the merger of some combination of white dwarfs, neutron stars or black holes. Black holes, white dwarfs, and neutron stars. Depending on many different variables a star can end up as a white dwarf, neutron star, or a black hole. We can't hope to create extremely strong gravity in the lab, so we need to look outwards into space for things like black holes, neutron stars and white dwarfs. Stars all begin life the same way but the end of the life cycle of a star is the interesting part. Less massive stars will eject its outer layers and then will collapse inside, forming white dwarfs, neutron stars or black holes. An artist's impression of the merger of two neutron stars. For an introduction to degenerate matter, followed by a description the various stages of a stellar remnant's collapse preceding the possible formation of a black hole, see here. Our sun will form a white dwarf, a remnant of 60% of Earth's size from the original mass. €�White dwarf/neutron star or black hole binaries are thought to be quite rare, although there is a huge range in the number per Milky Way-like galaxy in the literature. Black.holes.white.dwarfs.and.neutron.stars.pdf. Sources of detectable gravitational waves could possibly include binary star systems composed of white dwarfs, neutron stars, or black holes. White dwarfs are the hot, dense leftover cores of ex-stars. A few weeks ago I was on a bus going through Scranton and I read a super-awesome fun fact regarding the Hulse-Taylor binary pulsar in Black Holes, White Dwarfs and Neutron Stars. Michael Muno is an astrophysicist who uses Chandra, among other telescopes, to study some of the most exotic objects in the Universe: white dwarfs, neutron stars, and black holes. While nothing in the universe just evaporates into emptiness, lets stop the process there and say we can call the time of death at these end points: White dwarf, neutron star, and black hole. These are produced by normal stars feeding material onto the compact, dense remains of stars that have reached the end of their evolutionary trail – white dwarfs, neutron stars and black holes.
