Stars

Neutron stars are a sight to witness on their own and we are fascinated by them in every way imaginable, including everything else in space, however, there is one sight that we have never seen before that includes such a star and, that being a neutron star merger. A merger being the collision of two stars, in this case two neutron stars, that create a black hole as well as an innumerable amount of energy however, scientists have determined that the amount of energy the merger exhibited was some 200

However, are the NIR photometric properties of these > 3σ detections consistent with the photometric properties of the A HST star? 3.4.2 Photometric calibration of the NIR > 3σ detections The V and I magnitudes of the A HST star are measured with aperture photometry on the HST F 555W and F 814W images (see section 3.2.2), namely, mVH ST,A = 20.23 ± 0.12 and m H I ST,A = 19.39 ± 0.26 mag, respectively. Conversely, using aperture photometry for measuring the magnitudes of the NIR > 3σ detections

A star is luminous point in the night sky that is a large, Indecent bodies like the sun. Stars are made up of big exploding balls of gas, mostly hydrogen and helium. The sun is similarly a star made up of huge amounts of hydrogen, undergoing a continuous nuclear reaction like a hydrogen bomb. Stars come about when vast clouds of hydrogen, helium and dust contract and collapse due to gravity. The clouds came from astronomical plasma from “The Big Bang”, but the dust comes from the supernovae of

a neutron star is created it is a supernova. Supernova’s are difficult to see in our galaxy because dust is blocking our view.When there’s a change in the core in a star a supernova occurs. When giant stars die in supernova and their core collapse that is when a neutron star is created.This neutron star is several times bigger than the sun.Because the neutrons are tightly put together into a super dense object the supernova is very heavy it weighs about 100 million tons. Neutron stars typically have

observe the stars more efficiently, it is discovered that stars goes through their own cycle of life, starting from birth to death. Before a star is born, massive clouds of dust and gas are pulled together by gravity in space, called a stellar nebula. These massive clouds are pulled to the center of the collapse into a number of points, or course within them. In the middle of the core, several events

About 90 percent of the stars in the universe, are main sequence stars. Stars start their lives off as big clouds of dust and gravity draws the clouds and forms them into one. Mark Morris, made a statement and said “Nature doesn’t form stars in isolation.” “ It forms them in clusters, out of natal clouds that collapse under their own gravity.” If a star's body has less than 0.08 of the sun's mass, they can not reach the stage of nuclear fusion at their core. They would become brown dwarfs, they

If you’ve ever wondered what a dying star looks like right when it’s about to bite the dust, wonder no more: NASA has just released an image taken by its Hubble Space Telescope which reveals the bright star known as Herschel 36 in its final death throes, a process that the agency says generally takes tens of thousands of years. What Does a Dying Star Look Like? The picture posted by NASA shows Herschel 36 surrounded by a gas cloud that left its core exposed for the photograph. Emanating from the

Stars are very unique when they are born, aging, and dying. Stellar evolution is a description of how stars are born, how they age, and how they eventually die. Stars live for so long that in a person’s lifetime they will probably not see of or hear of any changes to our star. A change in a star's mass is the easiest way to tell it’s aging. Stars are born in a very complicated way. First the gravitational collapse of a cool, dense molecular cloud sends fragments into space. The fragments then

do with ultraviolet light and the formation of new stars. The scientific context of this paper relates to the topic of astrophysics through the fact that it involves stars and the light spectrum. This topic is worthy of investigation because it is important to know how old certain stars are in order to understand the universe. The formation of new stars can be studied by using ultraviolet light because of the large amounts of energy that new stars emit and the fact that each galaxy appears differently

By definition a supergiant star is larger, brighter, and more massive than a giant star. They fuse elements heavier than helium and are usually classified by having more than 10 solar masses. A solar mass is the mass of the sun. There doesn’t seem to be a concrete definition of a star, but most people classify them by the criteria I mentioned. If we look over the the hertzsprung Russell diagram, supergiants occupy a spectral range between O-M. This corresponds to temperatures ranging from 3,500
