Aug 16, 2023 · What black holes and neutron stars share is progenitors that are massive stars. One school of thought is that there is a bifurcation at the ends of their lives, during the supernova core …

Jan 12, 2023 · From 100- $10^5$ years, the interior becomes isothermal and neutrino cooling dominates over photon cooling. The details of how the interior (and hence surface) temperature behaves then …

What happens to all of the electrons and protons in the material of a neutron star? Could there ever be an electron star or a proton star?

Second, neutron stars have a maximum possible mass, dictated by the rules of general relativity and the mass of a neutron. If a neutron star has extra mass beyond this dumped on its surface (say, because …

May 20, 2014 · The official limits for a neutron star is $1.4 - 3.2\\;M_\\odot$. But I read that the limit depends on the particular structure of a star to estimate which mass it must have. I also read that …

May 20, 2022 · Why is that neutron stars are never depicted in a Hertzsprung-Russell diagram? They can be placed in the bottom left corner but you will never find any diagram in literature showing …

Oct 15, 2021 · What supports neutron stars is the repulsion provided by the strong nuclear force between closely-packed neutrons. The central pressure in a neutron star is an order of magnitude …

Oct 26, 2014 · But, I think this is not the smallest possible neutron star mass - it is only the smallest mass that can be produced by stellar evolution processes. For example, black holes have also a …

Nov 30, 2014 · What happens to Protons and Electrons when a Neutron star forms? At some point gravity overcomes the Pauli Exclusion Principle ( I assume) and they are all forced together. What …

Dec 9, 2020 · Neutron stars have a charged components (mostly protons and electrons). For pure neutron matter, it is possible to consider non-minimal coupling of the neutron with the …
