  • Interstellar Star

    1544 Words  | 7 Pages

    The interstellar cloud is the birthing place of the low mass and high-mass stars, however there are quite a few differences between the two types of stars. As mentioned earlier, low-mass stars come from the interstellar cloud, and they are created when the cloud begins to collapse, which can happen for a number of reasons, with some being a possible collision with a nearby cloud or an explosion of a nearby star. Once the cloud begins to collapse and shrink under its own influence its temperature

    When a massive star with 4 to 8 times the mass of our Sun dies, it detonates as a supernova. The outer layers are blasted off into space, and the inner core contracts down with its gravity. The gravitational pressure is so strong that it overcomes the bonds that keep atoms apart. Electrons and protons are crushed together by gravity to

  • Research Paper On Magnetar

    The Study of Magnetars and Pulsars The universe has stars including neutron stars, black or white dwarfs, blue or red giants and super giants and many more, which all vary in magnetic fields strength. One of the more interesting types of stars is the neutron stars. They are stars that have the core of a large star that has collapsed, that were formed as a result of an supernovae explosion. Two main types of neutron stars are magnetars, a type of neutron star with a high and extremely strong magnetic

    People thought that the north star was the brightest star in the universe. When we had slavery the slaves would follow the north star which was quite noticeable, considering people thought it was the brightest. Although, people may have gotten the North Star confused with other stars, people still believed it was the brightest.

  • Walter Baade And Fritz Zwicky: The Evolution Of Neutron Stars

    606 Words  | 3 Pages

    According to modern considerations, neutron star, it is star in the final stage of its evolution, which has no internal energy sources and consist mainly of neutrons in a state of Fermi gas with a small admixture of other particles. So, neutron stars - one of the most interesting stars in the Universe. First of all, they are the most compact stars whose masses range from 1,44 (Chandrasekhar limit) to 2 solar masses, despite the fact that they are extremely small radii, from 6 to 18 km. This value

    \section{Reduction of \textit{Chandra} Data} \label{sec::chandra} To confirm the existence of a galaxy cluster, \textit{Chandra} X-ray observation is important as it provides an evidence for extremely hot intracluster medium (ICM), which is expected from such a deep potential well of a cluster. In particular, high spatial resolution X-ray images can be used to determine different properties of this hot ICM, such as gas temperature profile, gas density profile, and total hydrostatic mass. In this

    citations that would back his statement that Kepler’s supernova happened due to a Type la event. Starting in the introduction the first clue to Reynolds credibility is his usage of citations to back up his claim, as he states that the supernova trace was due to “interaction with dense circumstellar medium, which could arise from a core-collapse event.” (Reynolds 1). He used information from another source to back his credibility as to why the supernova residue that Kepler

In relation to the scope of the course Novas and Supernovas are one of the less obscure concepts for a lot is already known about them. Plus, they are not the hardest concept to understand for basically they are celestial explosions, and if there is anything the masses understand it is explosions. Novas and Supernovas are a part of Strange Science for the full understanding is not yet proven. As only base

    crust. The element calcium ion is also the fifth-most-abundant dissolved ion in seawater. Free calcium metal is too reactive to occur in nature or it is natural. Calcium is produced in supernova nucleosynthesis. Supernova nucleosynthesis is the theory of the production of many different chemical elements in Supernova explosions. The atomic mass of calcium is 40.078. The density of calcium is 1.55 g/L. This is the Melting point 1112 K and Boiling point 1757 K for calcium.The shell structure is 2,8

  • How Heavier Elements Are Formed During Supernova Explosions

    Jorge Salazar Dr. Siem 11/02/2016 USEM101 How Heavier Elements are Formed During Supernova Explosions. The Energy from stars are created when light elements unite to create heavier elements known as fusions, or as NASA states “nuclear burnings” It is believed that elements heavier than helium are created when lighter nuclei fuse to make a bigger and heavier one. This is called nucleosynthesis. The requirements for nucleosynthesis to happened are high-speed collisions between elements, however, that's

  • How Did The First Stars Transform The Universe

    676 Words  | 3 Pages

    The birth of the first stars changed our universe from darkness to brightness. When clouds and hydrogen atoms combined together, the collected mass increased continuously, creating the first stars. The formation of the stars transformed the universe and its proceeding evolution. The stars rehabilitated the universe by heating and ionizing its contiguous gases. The stars also formulated and distributed the first substantial elements, ultimately creating solar systems. The earliest stars made significant

    many more galaxies are out there. There is an estimate of five billion galaxies in our universe. There could be many more, but we might not ever know. What is a Supernova? A Supernova is the explosion of a star. We can not see Supernova’s in our own galaxy, but we can see them in other galaxies. There are two different ways a Supernova can occur. The first way is when a white dwarf star, steals the matter from another star. The dwarf star obtains too much matter, and then it explodes. The second

    the signal that the star has run out of nuclear fuel. This means the star is collapsing, which results in a supernova. When a supernova occurs, a star explodes, shooting a piece of the star into space, and gives off as much light as the sun, then slowly fades over time. The supernova causes the star to become denser and have a stronger gravitational pull (hubblesite.org). Once the supernova fades, a black hole is left in its place. The resulting stellar mass black hole can have a mass of ten to
