Neutron stars‚ second only to black holes and pints of Guinness as the densest objects in the Universe‚ may have liquid in their cores‚ observations of a dead star shrouded in the debris of a distant supernova suggest. Two separate teams of scientists say that a frictionless state of matter called a superfluid is the only reasonable explanation for temperature changes recently observed in the youngest known neutron star. “This the first direct evidence for superfluidity in neutron stars‚” says Wynn

December 30‚ 2013 University of Phoenix The Science of Stars Paper The stars are the majority and most widely acknowledged astronomical components that symbolize the most essential development of the galaxies. The disbursement‚ age‚ and the framework of the night sky in the galaxy maintain a record of the heritage‚ evolution and characteristics of our galaxy.

the star recede (so that it is moving away from Earth). Are the absorption lines shifted to the red or to the blue? Now have the star move perpendicular to Earth. In this case‚ is the absorption lines shifted to the red or to the blue? Red‚ No change in the absorption lines getting absorbed by Earth. 6. How would you expect an absorption line to look in a star that is rapidly rotating? Why? Feel free to draw an illustration if that helps. The absorption line of the side of the star spinning

continuously learning new things. One area that amazes scientists is magnetars and pulsars. This report will discuss the formation of these stars‚ their characteristics‚ and the effects they have. Magnetars and pulsars are formed from the remnants of a Type II supernova 1. The exploding star is typically bigger than the sun 2. Having a mass greater than 1.989 X 10^30 kg 3.The star often dies because they no longer have the light force pushing outwards which counter acts the massive gravitational force (1 of

Close reading and response to literature Number The Stars -Lois Lowry 1. What are the major themes of this book ? Difficulty of growing up The author Lois Lowry uses the context of World War II as a way of making the difficulties stand out more clearly. The novel focuses on Annemarie Johansen’s personal experiences with growing up‚ but her experiences are common to most young people. Growing up is presented as a struggle for identity. Does Annemarie belong to the world of adults or

The Life of High Mass Stars High mass stars can be classified as any star that is at least four times the solar mass of our star‚ the sun. They consist of about three percent of all of the stars in the universe‚ but there are still billions and billions of them all over the universe. High mass stars‚ like low mass stars‚ begin to form from clouds of gas and dust in space. They both begin as a protostar and eventually become dense enough to cause hydrogen fusion within them; placing them both on

Term paper outline-Death of stars http://www.space.com/6638-supernova.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stellar_evolution Abstract (summar of paper) When observing a star‚ the lager it is the shorter its life is going to be. The smaller it is the longer the life. Shorter life is not saying much though‚ as the most massive stars live for billions of years. When a star reaches about middle age‚ it starts fusing hydrogen into helium. Once it has run out of usable hydrogen that it can convert

Before a star even becomes a star‚ scientists are tracking its every move and every phase it goes through. Scientists do this for high mass and low mass stars because they both go through similar life cycles. The difference? A high mass star burns out in just a few million years while a low mass star could take almost ten billion years to burn out. HIgh mass stars develop much quicker because of their massive core‚ which is how they get their name. A high mass star will start growing in a nebula
