If both a neutron star and a white dwarf have a total mass of 1M®. If the radius of the white dwarf is 6 x 106 m and the neutron star has a radius of 8 km.

What is the density of the neutron star?

Compare the surface gravity of both stars?

Assuming the neutron star is entirely made up of neutrons and the interparticle separation of a gas of density n is l ͌  n -1/3. How far apart are the neutrons from each other?

Answer #1

Density = Mass/Volume

Surface gravity

For white dwarf

For Neutron

The seperation is 1/n1/3 where n is the particle density

If all particles are neutrons then total particles per unit volume = Mass per unit volume / weight of 1 neutron

Thus seperation =

Neutron stars are one of the possible “final states” of a star. The idea is that for a sufficiently massive star, the gravitational pressure is enough to overcome the outward pressure (that comes from essentially the Pauli exclusion principle) that keeps fermions from coinciding with each other. Part A) According to quantum statistics, the OUTWARD pressure of a (neutron) fermionic gas is given by P=[(3.9?^2)/(2m)](N/V)^(5/3), where m is the mass of a neutron, and N/V is the number density of...

Neutron Star Physics Under some circumstances, an ordinary star can undergo gravitational collapse into an extremely dense object made mostly of neutrons. This type of star is called a "neutron star". A neutron star has a mass density roughly 1014 times larger than that of ordinary solid matter. Suppose we represent an ordinary star as a uniform solid rigid sphere, both before and after the collapse. The original star's initial radius is 7.0 x 105 km (comparable to the size...
