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) ...

Binary evolution in a nutshell
... 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 ...
