MYSTERY OF STARS
Welcome to my presentation
Naimul ArifCSE0905004
Ancient people had no
idea about the size or the
distance of the stars
They thought that the stars were like glittering pearls attached with the inner surface of the
semispherical sky
Greek and Indian mythology are vastly related with the
stars.
People imagined the clusters of stars as different
characters
Science & research in ancient age started following the stars:
First calendar of history
Ancient astronomy
Trigonometry
Aristotle told about the stars that
they are constant for ever and no
change will happen to them.
People believed it for many
years.
He was proved false in
1572 by Tyco Brahe
The sun is also a star.
After all of the hydrogen has been used, the
small stars turns into red giants.
In case of giant stars, helium starts fusion and
produces carbon, oxygen, silicon, iron and
gradually goes towards lead.
After generating heavy molecules fusion stops and
supernova occurs.
Towards death of the star
What happens after the death of a star?
The answer was given by Indian scientist Subramanian Chandrasekhar
Chandrashekhar mathematically proved that, if the mass of the star is:
*Less than 1.44 solar mass:
Black dwarf
*More than 1.44 solar mass and less
than 3 solar mass:
Neutron star
*More than 3 solar mass:
Black hole
When the mass of the star is less
than 1.44 solar mass:
*The star cools, expands in size. Called Red Giant.
The star is completely dead now. No change will occur to it for ever.
2
4*The core collapse on itself, turns into a white dwarf
containing He .
*Then white dwarf gets cooled again and gradually becomes unable to emit light . It is now called black dwarf.
If the mass of the star is between 1.44 and 3
solar mass then it turns into a neutron star:
*The core of the star compresses into a very small volume.
*The protons and electrons in the core forms neutrons. Ultimately the whole star turns into a ball of neutrons.
*The neutron star rotates around its axis with a great angular velocity.
*This star generates electromagnetic wave continuously.
*As electromagnetic wave is found from it with a certain frequency, it is called Pulsar.
If the mass of the star is more
than 3 solar mass:
*After the explosion, the core of the star starts to compress because of gravitational force.
*After compression, it turns into a sphere with a very small radius and extremely high density.
*The gravitational pull of the star is then so high that no matter even light cannot escape from it.
*Then it is called black hole.
Thank you all for
watching my
presentation.
Good bye
