Jan 12, 2023 · The heat capacity of a neutron star is very low once degeneracy is achieved within the first few seconds. Basically, only neutrons within of their Fermi surface can be cooled. This, along …

Feb 22, 2024 · Neutron stars and General Relativity In neutron stars, the reason for the upper limit is also because hydrostatic equilibrium cannot be reached, either because of the increasing density …

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?

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …
