Black holes, white dwarfs, and neutron stars Saul A. Teukolsky, Stuart L. Shapiro

These are produced by normal stars feeding material onto the compact, dense remains of stars that have reached the end of their evolutionary trail – white dwarfs, neutron stars and black holes. Such is the case of white dwarfs, neutron stars and 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. When stars die, the distribution of remnant masses would be expected to be continuous from white dwarfs through neutron stars to black holes, ranging from a fraction of our sun's mass to nearly 100 solar masses. €�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. They suggest that two compact stellar remnants – black holes, neutron stars or white dwarfs – collided and merged together. Short duration gamma-ray bursts are thought to be caused by the merger of some combination of white dwarfs, neutron stars or black holes. An artist's impression of the merger of two neutron stars. So far these signals were detected only in supermassive black holes, which contain millions of solar masses and is located in the center of a galaxy. I like that you included the actual masses at which stars will become either a white dwarf, neutron star, or black hole.

Michael Muno is an astrophysicist who uses Chandra, among other telescopes, to study some of the most exotic objects in the Universe: white dwarfs, neutron stars, and black holes. I definitely needed a refresher on star life cycles since I took Intro Astronomy a few years ago.
