Sources of detectable gravitational waves could possibly include binary star systems composed of white dwarfs, neutron stars, or black holes. Shows the central region of our Milky Way galaxy, only about 25,000 light years from Earth, revealing hundreds of white dwarf stars, neutron stars, and black holes bathed in an incandescent fog of multimillion-degree gas. Short duration gamma-ray bursts are thought to be caused by the merger of some combination of white dwarfs, neutron stars or black holes. Eventually, in 100 trillion years, the last stars will have died, all that remains are their corpses: white dwarfs, neutron stars and black holes. While nothing in the universe just evaporates into emptiness, lets stop the process there and say we can call the time of death at these end points: White dwarf, neutron star, and black hole. The term compact star (sometimes compact object) is used to refer collectively to white dwarfs, neutron stars, other exotic dense stars, and black holes. It is difficult compare the relative sizes of black holes, neutron stars, white dwarfs, the Sun, and red supergiants on the same sheet of paper. Neutron star simulation in Astrophysics is being discussed at Physics Forums. Their size differences are so vast. Comparison of the Sizes of Stellar Remnants. Have you tried Black Holes, White Dwarfs, and Neutron Stars, by Shapiro and Teukolsky? A journey of simulations of Black Holes, Neutron Stars, White Dwarfs and Space and Time. We call this type of explosion a "Type Ia supernova" ("Type Ia" is a historical moniker from before we understood what was exploding), and the supernova completely obliterates the white dwarf. An artist's impression of the merger of two neutron stars. €�This tell-tale signal, called a quasi-periodic oscillation or QPO, is a characteristic feature of the accretion disks that often surround the most compact objects in the universe — white dwarf stars, neutron stars and black holes. We look at the skies and see stars at various stages of their evolution — young ones, middle aged ones, supernovas, and the remnants of supernovas — white dwarves, neutron stars, black holes. Once the last of the red dwarfs exhaust their fuel, all nuclear fusion in the universe will have ceased. Though, it is only a simulation, nothing more.
