It finds a sea of hot gas enveloping thousands of white dwarfs, neutron stars and black holes. For an introduction to degenerate matter, followed by a description the various stages of a stellar remnant's collapse preceding the possible formation of a black hole, see here. Chandra also finds regions aglow with the light of massive young stars. I definitely needed a refresher on star life cycles since I took Intro Astronomy a few years ago. Though, it is only a simulation, nothing more. Our sun will form a white dwarf, a remnant of 60% of Earth's size from the original mass. As the population of stars ages, it will consist either of the dead corpses of previous generations—dim objects such as white dwarfs or neutron stars and black holes—or of slowly evolving, faint, low-mass stars. Less massive stars will eject its outer layers and then will collapse inside, forming white dwarfs, neutron stars or black holes. "If they are part of a binary system, stellar remnants such as white dwarfs, neutron stars and black holes may accrete matter from their companion and, in the process, shine brightly in X-rays. White dwarfs, neutron stars, black holes, X-ray pulsars you name it and this book has it. In all it gives This is an exciting account about binary stars and the way black holes, white dwarfs, and neutron stars can evolve in them. Black holes, like neutron stars, white dwarfs and normal stars, also have strong magnetic fields that get even stronger the closer you get to the event horizon, or the point from which light cannot escape. A journey of simulations of Black Holes, Neutron Stars, White Dwarfs and Space and Time. I like that you included the actual masses at which stars will become either a white dwarf, neutron star, or black hole.
