Black holes, white dwarfs, and neutron stars Saul A. Teukolsky, Stuart L. Shapiro

A journey of simulations of Black Holes, Neutron Stars, White Dwarfs and Space and Time. If it is more massive than that about 8 solar masses the star will go supernova and leave behind a neutron star, or if massive enough a black hole. Though, it is only a simulation, nothing more. I definitely needed a refresher on star life cycles since I took Intro Astronomy a few years ago. Thumbnail of image, Near-infrared image of young binary stars with a faint companion (a planet?). I like that you included the actual masses at which stars will become either a white dwarf, neutron star, or black hole. Our Sun is expected to end as a white dwarf after it is a red giant. Thumbnail, Image Description, Caption, NASA IDs, Image Size, Hi-Resolution TIFF? They are extremely massive stars with a strong force of gravity. While nothing in the universe just evaporates into emptiness, lets stop the process there and say we can call the time of death at these end points: White dwarf, neutron star, and black hole. Teukolsky, “Black holes, White dwarfs and Neutron stars: The physics of compact objects” (John Wiley & Sons Inc, 1983). Michael Muno is an astrophysicist who uses Chandra, among other telescopes, to study some of the most exotic objects in the Universe: white dwarfs, neutron stars, and black holes. In our case, the processes of energy generation and conversion are particularly complicated because of the exotic nature of black holes.
