THE LIFE AND DEATH OF STARS

SMALLER STARS (LIKE OUR SUN)
( Don’t worry, we have around 5 billions years left yet … )

CHANDRASEKHAR LIMIT
• Discovered by Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar • Awarded Nobel Prize for Physics 1983
• Maximum mass of stable white dwarf• 1.4 x mass of our Sun• Above that – Neutron star or Black Hole
![Page 12: Black hole presentation](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062306/589a18931a28ab2a678b51cb/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
TOLMAN–OPPENHEIMER–VOLKOFF LIMIT
• Calculated in 1939, derived from similar equations to the Chandrasekhar limit
• Maximum mass of neutron star• 2 - 3 x mass of our Sun ( from core remnant )• Original star mass 15 – 20 solar masses• Above that – Black Hole
![Page 13: Black hole presentation](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062306/589a18931a28ab2a678b51cb/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
ALL ABOUT MASS OF CORE REMNANT
< 1.4 Solar Masses = White dwarf
1.4 - ~3 Solar Masses = Neutron star
> 3 Solar Masses = Black hole
![Page 14: Black hole presentation](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062306/589a18931a28ab2a678b51cb/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
MASS OF ORIGINAL STAR
< 10 Solar masses = White dwarf
10 – 29 Solar masses = Neutron star
> 29 Solar masses = Black hole

SOME OTHER SCENARIOS….
• Some stars may just vanish to black hole instantly• Some huge stars blow up entirely, leaving NOTHING• Some may form Quark Stars
![Page 16: Black hole presentation](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062306/589a18931a28ab2a678b51cb/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

BLACK HOLE
• Core completely collapses in on itself• Mass compacts down to singularity• Infinite density• 1 dimension only• More on this soon…
• Event Horizon – giving black hole its name
![Page 18: Black hole presentation](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062306/589a18931a28ab2a678b51cb/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

SINGULARITY
• Infinite density• 1 dimension – no real “size”• Space-time curves infinitely• Physics (esp relativity) breaks down entirely• Combined quantum & relatively MAY explain one day• No information can ever escape from singularity
![Page 21: Black hole presentation](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062306/589a18931a28ab2a678b51cb/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
EVENT HORIZON
• Shwarzschild radius – light can’t escape• = Event Horizon• No information can ever escape• ( Except Hawking radiation! )
• Past this boundary, space time curves inwards ONLY

To come….
NEUTRON STARS?
Future talk ( There was so much to talk
about black holes! )
Ran out of time…..
