Question
t low-iiass star, less than about eight times the mass of our Sun (8m), will eventually explode as a Type Il supernova. Depending on the original mass of the star, the Type ll supernova will leave behind either a neutron star or, if the original star was extremely massive, a black hole. 1) Use the information above and the word list below to fill in the ovals in the diagram on the next page. Be sure to look at the arrows and words between the ovals to make sure these links between ovals make sense. Check your work with another group. Word list: neutron star black hole planetary nebula white dwarf nova Type II supernova The diagram does not give us all the information known about the death of stars. Since it is incomplete, we can always add to this diagram as we learn more information. 2) In Parts a and b below, you are given some additional information about the end states cf stors Youur task is to change or add to the diagram to incornorate this additionalExplanation / Answer
1. STELLAR EVOLUTION :
Red giant ---> with small mass produces ---> PLANETARY NEBULA ---> leaving behind ---> WHITE DWARF.
Red giant ---> with larger mass produces ---> TYPE II SUPERNOVA ---> leaving behind ---> BLACK HOLE & NEUTRON STAR.
