a neutron star is the remnant left after certain supernovae (explosions of giant stars). typically, neutron stars are about 21 km in diameter and have around the same mass as our sun. what is a typical neutron star density in g/cm3 ?

Respuesta :

The density of the neutron star is  ρ = [tex]7.733[/tex]×[tex]10^{14}[/tex] [tex]g/cm^{3}[/tex].

The volume of the neutron star is

V=([tex]4\pi /3[/tex])×[tex]R^{3}[/tex]

V= [tex]25.72^{17} cm^{3}[/tex]

Now the density of the neutron star is

ρ = M/V

ρ =  [tex]7.733[/tex]×[tex]10^{14}[/tex]g/[tex]cm^{3}[/tex]

What is a neutron star?

The collapsing core of a large supergiant star with a total mass of between 10 and 25 solar masses—possibly even more if the star was very metal-rich—is what we refer to as a neutron star. Neutron stars are the tiniest and densest class of stellar objects currently known, with the exception of black holes and other hypothetical phenomena.

Although the galaxy may contain hundreds of millions of ancient neutron stars, only about 1,000 pulsars are known to exist. Although the enormous pressures found at neutron star cores may be similar to those at the moment of the big bang, conditions like this cannot be replicated on Earth.
