€�This tell-tale signal, called a quasi-periodic oscillation or QPO, is a characteristic feature of the accretion disks that often surround the most compact objects in the universe — white dwarf stars, neutron stars and black holes. "If they are part of a binary system, stellar remnants such as white dwarfs, neutron stars and black holes may accrete matter from their companion and, in the process, shine brightly in X-rays. The combined pressure of the electrons holds up the white dwarf, preventing further collapse towards an even stranger entity like a neutron star or black hole. These are produced by normal stars feeding material onto the compact, dense remains of stars that have reached the end of their evolutionary trail – white dwarfs, neutron stars and black holes. In between black holes and white dwarfs are objects called neutron stars. White dwarfs, neutron stars, black holes, X-ray pulsars you name it and this book has it. The term compact star (sometimes compact object) is used to refer collectively to white dwarfs, neutron stars, other exotic dense stars, and black holes. They suggest that two compact stellar remnants, i.e., black holes, neutron stars, or white dwarfs, collided and merged together. We review the formation and evolution of compact binary stars consisting of white dwarfs (WDs), neutron stars (NSs), and black holes (BHs). Less massive stars will eject its outer layers and then will collapse inside, forming white dwarfs, neutron stars or black holes. Our sun will form a white dwarf, a remnant of 60% of Earth's size from the original mass. Black holes, like neutron stars, white dwarfs and normal stars, also have strong magnetic fields that get even stronger the closer you get to the event horizon, or the point from which light cannot escape. They are much more dense than white dwarfs. For an introduction to degenerate matter, followed by a description the various stages of a stellar remnant's collapse preceding the possible formation of a black hole, see here. Lectures will be presented by leading Physicists and Astrophysicists working in the interface of Nuclear Physics, White Dwarfs, Neutron Star Physics and Black Holes Physics. In the case of compact objects such as white dwarfs, neutron stars, and black holes, the gas in the inner regions becomes so hot that it will emit vast amounts of radiation (mainly X-rays), which may be detected by telescopes. One spoonful of a neutron star would weigh about 1 billion tons. In all it gives This is an exciting account about binary stars and the way black holes, white dwarfs, and neutron stars can evolve in them.
