Question 1
1.

Read chapter 14.1-3 Do you have any questions?

Question 2

Draggable itemarrow_right_altCorresponding Item
Chandrasekhar limit:
arrow_right_alt
A rotating disk of gas, dust, and other matter that forms around massive objects in space due to gravity pulling material toward it
Neutron star:
arrow_right_alt
The maximum mass (about 1.4 times the mass of our Sun) that a white dwarf star can have before it collapses under its own gravity
Supernova:
arrow_right_alt
A quantum mechanical force that prevents certain types of stars from collapsing, created by electrons or neutrons being squeezed too close together
Pulsar
arrow_right_alt
An extremely dense stellar remnant composed almost entirely of neutrons, formed when a massive star explodes and its core collapses
Degeneracy pressure
arrow_right_alt
A powerful explosion that occurs at the end of a massive star's life, briefly outshining entire galaxies and spreading heavy elements into space
Accretion disk:
arrow_right_alt
A rapidly rotating neutron star that emits regular pulses of radiation from its magnetic poles, acting like a cosmic lighthouse
Question 3
3.

The type Ia supernova is the one where a white dwarf adds mass from its companion star and reaches its limit until it supernovas. These are really useful because they have a distinct signature spectrum, and because this type of supernova is always exactly the same. Why are they exactly the same?

Question 4
4.

When there is a redshift in light, the doppler effect tells us this means that

Question 5
5.

Gravitational redshift is similar and different from doppler shift redshift. Explain how.

Question 6
6.

how do you think the gravitational redshift is related the fact that radiation cannot escape a black hole?

Question 7
7.

Ok, watch this video on black holes, and this is a niiiiice short flipped classroom because you

Question 8

  • what is a white dwarf
  • what happens to a white dwarf in a binary star system that can lead to a type 1a supernova
  • what happens during a supernova
  • how does a black hole form
  • what is gravitational redshift?
  • what is the even horizon
  • what is the schwarzschild radius
  • I've got this
  • im fuzzy
  • so confused
