The mass of a star is two times the mass of the Sun. How it will come to an end ?

Answer» <html><body><p> Neutron Star</p><br/><br/><p>The mass of a star which is two times the mass of the sun turns into a neutron star. A neutron star is a type of stellar remnant that can result from the gravitational collapse of a massive star during a Type II, Type Ib or Type Ic supernova event. Such stars are composed <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/almost-373246" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about ALMOST">ALMOST</a> entirely of neutrons, which are subatomic particles without electrical charge and with <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/slightly-3037487" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about SLIGHTLY">SLIGHTLY</a> larger mass than protons. Neutron stars are very hot and are supported against further collapse by quantum degeneracy pressure due to the Pauli’s <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/exclusion-979009" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about EXCLUSION">EXCLUSION</a> principle. This principle states that no two neutrons (or any other fermionic particles) can occupy the same place and quantum state simultaneously. A typical neutron star has a mass between about 1.4 and 3.2 solar masses ( Chandrasekhar Limit), with a corresponding radius of about 12 km if the Akmal– Pandharipande–Ravenhall equation of state (<a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/apr-380797" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about APR">APR</a> EOS) is <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/used-2318798" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about USED">USED</a>.</p></body></html>
