It is thus an ideal technique to study the galactic population of such faint or dark objects as brown dwarfs, red dwarfs, planets, white dwarfs, neutron stars, black holes, and Massive Compact Halo Objects. This includes white dwarf stars, neutron stars and black holes. Neutron star simulation in Astrophysics is being discussed at Physics Forums. Depending on many different variables a star can end up as a white dwarf, neutron star, or a black hole. Of star-forming dust [infrared in orange] along with X-ray sources [in blue] where collapsed stars – white dwarfs, neutron stars and black holes – are located. Have you tried Black Holes, White Dwarfs, and Neutron Stars, by Shapiro and Teukolsky? They suggest that two compact stellar remnants – black holes, neutron stars or white dwarfs – collided and merged together. We call this type of explosion a "Type Ia supernova" ("Type Ia" is a historical moniker from before we understood what was exploding), and the supernova completely obliterates the white dwarf. An exhausted star will evolve into a neutron star, a black hole or a white dwarf – depending on its mass. White dwarfs are the hot, dense leftover cores of ex-stars. A star undergoes many radical changes throughout its lifespan including the inevitable exhaustion of its fuel source. It's funny, because the more wacky combinations of stars and compact object (white dwarf, neutron star, or black hole) we find or imagine, the more remarkable evolutionary scenarios astronomers can conceive of playing out. Stars all begin life the same way but the end of the life cycle of a star is the interesting part. €�This tell-tale signal, called a quasi-periodic oscillation or QPO, is a characteristic feature of the accretion disks that often surround the most compact objects in the universe — white dwarf stars, neutron stars and black holes. We look at the skies and see stars at various stages of their evolution — young ones, middle aged ones, supernovas, and the remnants of supernovas — white dwarves, neutron stars, black holes. We can't hope to create extremely strong gravity in the lab, so we need to look outwards into space for things like black holes, neutron stars and white dwarfs.
