what is the pressure, total mass, and density as a function of radius of a star if its temperature is constant and independent of the radius. The boundary conditions of the equation are the fact that the pressure and density are assumed to be zero at the surface. M(0)=0 and M(Rstar)=Mstar

Suppose a star with the Sun’s mass and radius (the radius of the Sun is 6.96×108 m) is rotating with a period of 25 days. The star first blows off its outer layers and loses mass and angular momentum before the actual collapse, thereby reducing its radius while maintaining the same density. Then, with a mass that is 59 % of the Sun’s mass, it collapses to a white dwarf with a rotation period is 131 s. A) What is...

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...

A solid cylinder of radius R is well insulated at both ends, and its exterior surface at r R is held at a fixed temperature, TR. Heat is generated in the solid at a rate per unit volume given by q = r(1-r/R), where「= constant. The thermal conductivity of the solid may be assumed constant. Use the conduction equation together with arn appropriate set of boundary conditions to derive an expression for the steady- state temperature profile, T(r), in the...
