Final Review Sheet
... Like white dwarfs have a maximum mass, but the value is uncertain. Probably near 2 Msun. If the supernova leaves behind a remnant larger than this it will be a black hole. Many neutron stars (but not all) are seen to be pulsars. A pulsar is a rotating, magnetic, neutron star with its magnetic and ro ...

Consider a 100-kg Earth satellite in a circular orbit at an altitude of 200 km. A small force of air resistance makes the satellite d ...

... GX Gem is a variable star located within the constellation Gemini. Comprised of two stars orbiting each other nearly edge-on from an observer’s viewpoint, the object’s variability results from the stars eclipsing each other and blocking some of the light.

... If we have a stellar model and constantly add mass to it, any point dM/drho = 0 will in practice imply that the sequence ends there, that is, the star will either collapse or expand exponentially when adding further mass; typically, the inward ram pressure of material (and loss of internal pressure) ...

... Here we made the assumption that the fraction of the stellar mass available for hydrogen fusion is the same for all stars. In reality, this factor will vary; it is ∼ 0.15 for the Sun, but may be much larger for more massive stars, for example because they have convective cores and can mix material f ...
