After this happens, the sun don't have power to the fuse carbon together, so it loses its energy source and it collapses, its material expand outwards and leaves the core of the star. The core that is left behind is composed of nearly only carbon. Then, the electrons have great resistance when they were pushed together, but they are under great pressure. This resistance supports the core of the star. This is what called a white dwarf star. It is also very hot, and will generate rays such as ultraviolet rays and X-rays. These rays shone on the star material around it which has not move too far away, and they have reaction when they receive the rays, they glow. And they can surround the star in many different shapes, we call the planetary nebula. The white dwarf is small stars in the universe, and it’s super hot, and the gravity of it is much bigger than earth. If you are 75kg on Earth, then you are 75000kg on the white dwarf. Also white dwarf has radiation, one-two years are enough to get zapped by the white dwarf radiation, causing that gas to glow in response. ]]> 2019-07-23 20:01:38 UTC https://padlet.com/avery_enevoldsen/7777/wish/372065403 fkillmer_ss https://padlet.com/avery_enevoldsen/7777/wish/372065583 2019-07-23 20:05:53 UTC https://padlet.com/avery_enevoldsen/7777/wish/372065583 fkillmer_ss https://padlet.com/avery_enevoldsen/7777/wish/372065584 So we can understand what a brown dwarf is, we must first understand the difference between a star and a planet.
To tell the difference between a star and a planet is not easy when you are looking up at the night sky.  ]]> 2019-07-23 20:05:54 UTC https://padlet.com/avery_enevoldsen/7777/wish/372065584 hhandy_ss https://padlet.com/avery_enevoldsen/7777/wish/372065595 1. Hydrogen Fusion - stars make energy in their cores. Four (4) protons (plus some other elements) get turned into one helium nucleus 
2. "The rate at which hydrogen fusion occurs depends on how much pressure the star has in its core."
3. A higher mass star puts more pressure on its core, where the helium is. That means, high mass stars burn out sooner than low mass stars. 
4. The lower mass a star is, the longer its lifespan is. 
5. The lowest mass stars are called "Cool Red Dwarfs". 
6. Cool Red Dwarfs can last up to one trillion (1,000,000,000,000) years. ]]> 2019-07-23 20:06:18 UTC https://padlet.com/avery_enevoldsen/7777/wish/372065595 yuzhang_ss https://padlet.com/avery_enevoldsen/7777/wish/372065836 Brown Dwarf is a a dwarf that way more massive than a planet but not enough massive than a star.
The way to determine a Brown Dwarf  is to look at whether or not there is Lithium, you can only see it using infrared light. You can find a Brown Dwarf easily in the sky because it emits green light. Brown Dwarf can fuse Lithium and Deuterium.]]> 2019-07-23 20:11:00 UTC https://padlet.com/avery_enevoldsen/7777/wish/372065836 jyu_ss https://padlet.com/avery_enevoldsen/7777/wish/372065878 When an 8-20 solar mass star ends its life, it does so with a bang: a supernova. Andere when it’s all over, there’s a couple of octillion tons of superheated plasma expanding away from the explosion site at a fraction of the speed of light, a whole mess of energy released in the form of light and neutrinos, and a bizarre little ball of quantum nastiness in the center composed almost entirely of neutrons. This is a neutron star. The properties of this neutron star are almost as bizarre as things get in the Universe.
Neutron stars are ridiculously dense. A single cubic centimeter of neutronium, as neutron star stuff is usually called, has a mass of about 400 million tons. It’s so dense that, as far as it’s concerned, normal matter is a slightly polluted vacuum.
A typical neutron star has a surface gravity 100 billion times stronger than Earth’s.
A freshly minted neutron star might spin several times per second.
A star like the Sun has an overall magnetic strength not too different from the Earth’s. But when that core collapses, the strength of the field skyrockets, and a neutron star can easily have a magnetic field several trillion times stronger than the Sun’s.
Neutron stars are more than just weird little balls of neutrons. They have a crust, probably a few centimeters thick, made of highly compressed but more or less normal matter, squeezed into a kind of highly stiffened crystal state.
