Which of the following most correctly explains why we have not yet observed any white dwarfs derived from M stars: Group of answer choices   Most M stars end up as neutron stars or black holes.   The lifetime of M stars is longer than the age of the universe.   Most M stars are located near the edge of the universe, beyond the visible horizon.   Most M stars are members of a binary system, and the white dwarf would be obscured by the glare of the more massive companion.   White dwarfs are too dim to be observed with currently available techniques.
Choose the correct statements from the following list referring to white dwarfs. (Give ALL correct answers, i.e., B, AC, BCD...) A) The pressure that balances gravity in a white dwarf is called degenerate electron pressure.   B) The power source of white dwarfs is left-over heat.   C) White dwarfs cool slowly because they are small and eventually fade-out to become black dwarfs.   D) White dwarfs with mass greater than 1.4 times the Sun's mass cannot exist.   E) Stars with a mass like the Sun will end up as a white dwarf star.   F) White dwarfs are less dense than red giants.   G) White dwarfs are the coolest main sequence stars.
True or False 8. Almost all stars are in binary systems. The book says: "So far you have been considering the deaths of stars as if they were all single objects that never interact, but more than half of all stars are members of binary star systems."From this, I would not necessarily say that almost all stars are in binary systems based on this alone, but some other information I am finding says up to 85%. However, the numbers seem to be all over the map outside the course material, and I can not find a solid figure in it from what I have looked at. If it helps, Stars and Galaxies, 10th Edition by Seeds and Beckman is my reference material.
