As the main difference between a black hole and a neutron star is mass, it only makes sense that neutron stars accumulating material from a binary partner could eventually become a black hole. The process of mass accumulation could take as long as millions of years, but the eventual transforma...
Neutron stars are not only mines for clues to dense matter physics but may also be the auspicious sources of half of all nuclei heavier than A = 60 in the universe, including the auric isotopes. Although the cold dense matter above the nuclear saturation density cannot be directly explored ...
Binary systems containing neutron stars are born when the cores of two orbiting stars collapse in supernova explosions. Neutron stars pack the mass of our sun into the size of a city. They are so dense and packed so tightly that the boundaries atoms nuclei disappear. In such systems, Einstei...
When the Sun moves on from the Main Sequence stage, it will expand, and the Earth will become too hot to support life. Main Sequence stars can be referred to as Dwarf stars as they are smaller than the giant stars out there. UY Scuti, currently the largest known star in the Universe ...
Neutron stars are compact enough to produce the short, focused signal that characterizes an FRB, and sufficiently matter-rich to generate something so powerful. But what could possibly prompt a neutron star to burp out so much energy, over and over again? Article content “The j...
What happens inside neutron stars, the universe's densest known objects? Latest in Particle Physics Why scientists are so excited about the highest-energy 'ghost particle' ever seen How 2024 brought us deeper into the world of particle physics Cosmic rays could help assess hidden war damage ...
Gamma-ray bursts can be caused by extremely massive stars exploding or from two tiny but superdense neutron stars colliding. The list of coincidental similarities in a class of objects goes on and on. 目前来看,“ORC”这一类别可能包含多种不同类型的天体。这其实并不令人意外——天文学中类似现象...
The discovery of quasars in the early 1960s was the first in a series of surprises astronomers had in store. Within another decade they would find neutron stars (in the form of pulsars), the first hints of black holes (in binary X-ray sources), and even the radio echo of the Big Ba...
Finally, nothing will be left of the gaseous exterior of the Sun; all that will remain will be the hot, white core. The Sun will have become a white dwarf star. The core will shrink, giving off the last of its energy, and the Sun will finally die. 3.In paragraph 1, why does ...
The subsequent cascade of events leads, eventually to a Type IIsupernovaevent. Left behind will be the core of the star, having been compressed due to the immense gravitational pressure into aneutron star; or in the cases of the most massive of stars, ablack holeis created. ...
