How I Wonder What You Are ...
• Stars have
• Different colors– Which indicate different temperatures
• Red stars- cooler
• White/blue stars- hotter
• The hotter a star is, the faster it burns its life away.

New Stars are not quiet !
Expulsion of gas from a young binary star system

Fusion– Inside a star, the density and temperature
increase toward the center, where energy is generated by nuclear fusion.
– Fusion reactions involving elements other than hydrogen can produce heavier elements, but few heavier than iron.
– The energy produced according to the equation E = mc2 stabilizes a star by producing the pressure needed to counteract gravity.

A Balancing Act
• Energy released from nuclear fusion counter-acts inward force of gravity.
• E = MC2
Throughout its life, these two forces determine the stages of a star’s life.
Hydrostatic equilibrium

Star Life Cycle
• What happens during a star’s life cycle depends on its mass.
• Higher mass stars live shorter lives!– It takes about 10 billion years for a star
with the mass of the Sun to convert all of the hydrogen in its core into helium.
– When the hydrogen in its core is gone, a star has a helium center and outer layers made of hydrogen-dominated gas.
![Page 10: Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star.... How I Wonder What You Are... Stars have Different colors –Which indicate different temperatures Red stars- cooler White/blue](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052504/5513df9255034646298b57e1/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
The Beginning of the End: Red Giants
– Some hydrogen continues to react in a thin layer at the outer edge of the helium core. This forces the outer layers of the star to expand and cool and the star becomes a red giant.
– As the star cools it begins to contract and heat again, eventually starting fusion all over.
– When the helium in the core is all used up, the star is left with a core made of carbon.

The end for solar type stars
Planetary Nebulae
After Helium exhausted, outer layers of star expelled

White dwarfs
• At center of Planetary Nebula lies a • White Dwarf.
• Size of the Earth with Mass of the Sun “A ton per teaspoon”
• Inward force of gravity balanced by repulsive force of electrons.

Fate of high mass stars
• After Helium exhausted, core collapses again until it becomes hot enough to fuse Carbon into Magnesium or Oxygen.
– 12C + 12C --> 24Mg
OR 12C + 4H --> 16O
• Through a combination of processes, successively heavier elements are formed and burned.

The End of the Line for Massive Stars
• Massive stars burn a succession of elements.
• Iron is the most stable element and cannot be fused further.– Instead of
releasing energy, it uses energy.

What’s Left After the Supernova
• Neutron Star (If mass of core < 5 x Solar)• Under collapse, protons and electrons
combine to form neutrons.• 10 Km across
• Black Hole (If mass of core > 5 x Solar)• Not even compacted neutrons can
support weight of very massive stars.

A whole new life: X-ray binariesIn close binary systems, material flows from normal star toNeutron Star or Black Hole. X-rays emitted from disk of gas around Neutron Star/Black Hole.
