RXTE sent data from its last science observation to the ground early on Jan. We review the formation and evolution of compact binary stars consisting of white dwarfs (WDs), neutron stars (NSs), and black holes (BHs). For an introduction to degenerate matter, followed by a description the various stages of a stellar remnant's collapse preceding the possible formation of a black hole, see here. First, instead of conventional objects such as the earth and moon, they consider the production of black holes on white dwarfs and neutron stars. "If they are part of a binary system, stellar remnants such as white dwarfs, neutron stars and black holes may accrete matter from their companion and, in the process, shine brightly in X-rays. The RXTE had an observatory mission, using X-ray wavelength emissions to study the environment around white dwarfs, neutron stars, and black holes. Short duration gamma-ray bursts are thought to be caused by the merger of some combination of white dwarfs, neutron stars or black holes. If a star has between 1.4 to 4 times our Sun's mass it will form a neutron star at its death. Most of the material that formed the star is ejected into space in a supernova explosion, but the core of the star collapses to form a compact remnant which must be a white dwarf, a neutron star or a black hole. If a star is much greater than 3 times our Sun's mass it will form a black hole at its death. Chandra also finds regions aglow with the light of massive young stars. Comparison of the Sizes of Stellar Remnants. This is the era where most of the mass in the universe is in the form of brown dwarfs, 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. It finds a sea of hot gas enveloping thousands of white dwarfs, neutron stars and black holes. The satellite provided unprecedented views into the extreme environments around white dwarfs, neutron stars and black holes. An artist's impression of the merger of two neutron stars. Their size differences are so vast. 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.
