Black.holes.white.dwarfs.and.neutron.stars.pdf. An artist's impression of the merger of two neutron stars. Lectures will be presented by leading Physicists and Astrophysicists working in the interface of Nuclear Physics, White Dwarfs, Neutron Star Physics and Black Holes Physics. When a star starts running out of fuel, it usually cools off and collapses into one of three compact forms, depending on its total mass, a White Dwarf a Neutron Star or a Black Hole. Stars all begin life the same way but the end of the life cycle of a star is the interesting part. Brown Dwarfs, is a fourth, remnant of a dead star after White Dwarfs, Neutron Stars, and Black Holes. Now, researchers think they've got the solution — the burst of radiation could have been emitted by merger between superdense objects like black holes, white dwarfs or neutron stars. Eventually, in 100 trillion years, the last stars will have died, all that remains are their corpses: white dwarfs, neutron stars and black holes. Brown Dwarfs, in theory, have been around awhile, but the first to be discovered came in 1995. Short duration gamma-ray bursts are thought to be caused by the merger of some combination of white dwarfs, neutron stars or black holes. Depending on many different variables a star can end up as a white dwarf, neutron star, or a black hole. Black holes, white dwarfs, and neutron stars. Once the last of the red dwarfs exhaust their fuel, all nuclear fusion in the universe will have ceased. Sources of gravitational waves could possibly include binary star systems composed of white dwarfs, neutron stars, or black holes.
