- Initial Star Mass < 0.4M
- 4. You end up with a relativly small hot (approx 20,000K) White Dwarf that slowly cools
- White Dwarf
- 3. The star contacts, GPE is converted into KE and the star heats up.
- The star again runs out of fuel and collapses in on the core, however this time the mass is so great that the core implodes, a shock waves rips through the star and it explodes.
- Supernova
- Inital star mass of 8M-20M
- Neutron Star
- Core remnant mass of 1.4M-2.5M
- Diameter of 20-40km
- Neutron Star
- Initial star mass >20M
- Black Hole
- Core remnant mass >2.5M
- An area of space where the gravitational forces are so great that even the speed of light is not fast enough to escape it
- Black Hole
- Inital star mass of 8M-20M
- Initial Star Mass 0.4M - 8M
- Supernova
- The star again runs out of fuel and collapses in on the core, however this time the mass is so great that the core implodes, a shock waves rips through the star and it explodes.
- 4. Nuclear fusion of the helium core begins with hydrogen around the core
- 4. You end up with a relativly small hot (approx 20,000K) White Dwarf that slowly cools
