Neutron stars are known by their rotation. They create a huge magnetic dynamo that powers the emissions seen in x-rays and gamma rays. The result is a pulsar or magnetar. The Crab Nebula is a classic example of these amazing objects. They can do similar things to what we've seen with novae but with much more extreme results: kilonovae.

This is part of a comprehensive online introductory college course. This video series has been used at William Paterson University and CUNY Hunter in online courses as well as to supplement course materials. Notes and links can be found in the videos at the beginning of each lecture. In this lecture series I talk about the final states of stars. The amazing white dwarfs and neutron stars. White dwarfs are fascinating end states of solar mass (or slightly larger) stars. Sirius /"b/" is among the closest known, and we know a lot about these strange planet-sized stars thanks to Dog Star. Then, if we combine the common nature of white dwarfs and the fact that most stars belong to binary (or more) systems, then we can see that as stars die, they can interact. Type 1a novae and supernovae are the result. White dwarf stars can cause sudden explosions called novae and even form a special supernova. Next, we turn our attention to some of the most amazing objects in the universe that are still neutron stars. Often considered in astronomy as the object on the way to black holes, neutron stars are the most extreme objects in the universe, composed of what we might still call normal matter. Black holes are something else. These boundary objects have wild properties and have extreme effects on their environment. Forged in the instantaneous fire of a core-collapse supernova, these are impressive objects. Finally, neutron stars are known by their rotation. They create a huge magnetic dynamo that powers the emissions seen in x-rays and gamma rays. The result is a pulsar or magnetar. The Crab Nebula is a classic example of these amazing objects. They can do similar things to what we've seen with novae but with much more extreme results: kilonovae.
