- Which of the following is least reasonable regarding novae and supernovae? Group of answer choices A type I (carbon-detonation) supernova results when a white dwarf in a binary system absorbs enough mass from its companion to push it over the Chandrasekhar limit. A type II supernova results from any supermassive star at the end of its life, when it runs out of fusion energy and collapses. A nova can occur multiple times in a binary system. If a white dwarf in a binary system absorbs enough mass to go beyond the Chandrasekhar limit, the white dwarf explodes as a supernova. The reason a type I supernova does not produce hydrogen lines is that the explosion originates from a stellar core (white dwarf), where hydrogen has already fused to produce heavier elements (so there is no longer any hydrogen). More supernovae are observed in the Milky Way because they are much closer to us than those in other galaxies.arrow_forwardThe chemical abundance of population I stars a. indicates that they were formed before the population II stars. b. indicates that the material they formed from had been enriched with material from supernovae. c. indicates that they contain very few heavy metals compared to halo stars. d. depends on the temperature of the star. e. depends on the mass of the star.arrow_forwardGiven that a pair of stars are found to be orbiting each other with a period of 11.86 [yrs] and a separation of 5.2 [AU], what is the binary star system's total mass (i.e.- M1+M2) expressed in units of our Sun's mass? a) 61.7 b) 39.5 c) .0162 d) 1 e) 1.0 x 10^30arrow_forward
