Document Summary
Making c- 100 million k----> carbon detonation-----> white dwarf stars mostly. ----------------------------------------- where the low mass stars stop, and high mass stars continue. Making mg- 600 million k (low mass stars will never reach this temperature)*** Making fe- as high as it can get before it starts dropping. Extremely dense (between 1 and 3 solar masses compressed into a radius of 10 km) Degenerate matter (can be pushed together because there are no electrons to push them apart) Hot (begins as 1 billion k, but drops to 1 million k. Can be seen in x-ray part of the spectrum. Strong magnetic field (charged particles will spin around magnetic field and give off energy) Pauli exclusion principle- packed together so much they become degenerate. Compact object- more massive than chandrasekhar limit, increased density force protons and electrons to pack together which creates a neutrino. If you"re in the right alignment, you"re able to see the energy spinning in the star.
