Arrange the following stars in order of their evolution: A. A star with no nuclear reactions going on in the core, which is made primarily of carbon and oxygen. B. A star of uniform composition from center to surface; it contains hydrogen but has no nuclear reactions going on in the core. C. A star that is fusing hydrogen to form helium in its core. D. A star that is fusing helium to carbon in the core and hydrogen to helium in a shell around the core. E. A star that has no nuclear reactions going on in the core but is fusing hydrogen to form helium in a shell around the core.
Look elsewhere in this book for necessary data, and indicate what the final stage of evolution-white dwarf, neutron star, or black hole-will be for each of these kinds of stars. A. Spectral type-O main-sequence star B. Spectral type-B main-sequence star C. Spectral type-A main-sequence star D. Spectral type-G main-sequence star E. Spectral type-M main-sequence star
The core of a star collapses during a supernova, forming a neutron star. Angular momentum of the core is conserved, and so the neutron star spins rapidly. If the initial core radius is and it collapses to 10.0 km, find the neutron star’s angular velocity in revolutions per second, given the Core’s angular velocity was originally 1 revolution per 30.0 days.
You have discovered two star clusters. The first cluster contains mainly main-sequence stars, along with some red giant stars and a few white dwarfs. The second cluster also contains mainly main-sequence stars, along with some red giant stars, and a few neutron stars-but no white dwarf stars. What are the relative ages of the clusters? How did you determine your answer?
The core of a star collapses during a supernova, fanning a neutron star. Angular momentum of the core is conserved, so the neutron star spins rapidly. If the initial core radius is 5.0105km and it collapses to 10.0 km, find the neutron star's angular’ velocity in revolutions per second, given the core’s angular’ velocity was originally 1 revolution per 30.0 days.
Describe the evolution of a star with a mass like that of the Sun, from the main-sequence phase of its evolution until it becomes a white dwarf.
The lowest mass for a true star is 1/12 the mass of the Sun. What is the luminosity of such a star based upon the mass-luminosity relationship?
A star rotates with a period of 30 days about an axis through its center. The period is the time interval required for a point on the star’s equator to make one complete revolution around the axis of rotation. After the star undergoes a supernova explosion, the stellar core, which had a radius of 1.0 × 104 km, collapses into a neutron star of radius 10.0 km. Determine the period of rotation of the neutron star.
There is a mass–luminosity relation because a. hydrogen fusion produces helium. b. stars expand when they become giants. c. stars support their weight by making energy. d. the helium flash occurs in degenerate matter. e. all stars on the main sequence have about the same radius.
The core of a star collapses during a supernova, forming a neutron star. Angular momentum of the core is conserved, and so the neutron star spins rapidly. If the initial core radius is 5.0×105 km and it collapses to 10.0 km, find the neutron star’s angular velocity in revolutions per second, given thecore’s angular velocity was originally 1 revolution per 30.0 days.
QUESTION 21 In a Type Ia supernova, the cause of the violent outburst is: 1) the sudden emission of a shell of stellar material from a dying low-mass star 2) the collapse of a very massive protostar to the main sequence 3) an enormous release of neutrinos during a sudden episode of hydrogen fusion 4) the transfer of so much mass from a companion star that a white dwarf goes "over the limit" and collapses, causing an enormous amount of sudden fusion 5) two neutron stars colliding with each other
