a) its mass exceeds the Chandrasekhar limit.b) its electron degeneracy increases enormously.c) fusion reactions increase in it’s core.d) iron in its core collapses.e) the planetary nebula stage ends.

a) its mass exceeds the Chandrasekhar limit.b) its electron degeneracy increases enormously.c) fusion reactions increase in it’s core.d) iron in its core collapses.e) the planetary nebula stage ends.
Question 13
A white dwarf can explode when
If additional mass from a companion star pushes a white dwarf beyond 1.4 solar masses, it can explode in a Type I supernova.

Question 14
A Type II supernova occurs when
a) hydrogen fusion shuts off.b) uranium decays into lead.c) iron in the core starts to fuse.d) helium is exhausted in the outer layers.e) a white dwarf gains mass.

a) hydrogen fusion shuts off.b) uranium decays into lead.c) iron in the core starts to fuse.d) helium is exhausted in the outer layers.e) a white dwarf gains mass.
Question 14
A Type II supernova occurs when
Fusion of iron does not produce energy or provide pressure; the star’s core collapses immediately, triggering a supernova explosion.

a) in the Big Bang.b) by nucleosynthesis in massive stars.c) in the cores of stars like the Sun.d) within planetary nebulae.e) They have always existed.
Question 2
Elements heavier than hydrogen and Helium were created

Question 2
Elements heavier than hydrogen and helium were created
Massive stars create enormous core temperatures as red
supergiants, fusing helium into carbon, oxygen, and even
heavier elements.
a) in the Big Bang.b) by nucleosynthesis in massive stars. c) in the cores of stars like the Sun.d) within planetary nebula e) They have always existed.

system.c) variations in the magnetic fields of a
pulsar.d) repeated nova explosions.e) All of the above are possible.
Question 4
One possible explanation for a gamma-ray burster is
Gamma-ray bursts vary in length, and the coalescence of two neutron
stars seems to account for short bursts.
