There are no neutron stars with 5 solar masses because one if a neutron star exceeds 3 solar masses, the neutrons inside would no longer be able to support the extreme gravity, so the neutron star would then collapse into a black hole.
A neutron star is prevented from further collapse by a force call neutron degeneracy pressure. Above 3 solar masses gravity will overcome this force and the stellar remnant will collapse completely to form a black hole.

What is the order of radius for 1 solar mass white dwarf 1 solar mass star 1.5 solar mass neutron star and 1 solar mass black hole from smallest to largest?

1 solar mass black hole (smallest) 1 solar mass white dwarf 1 solar mass star 1.5 solar mass neutron star (largest)


What is the diameter of a a one solar mass white dwarf compared to a two solar mass neutron star?

A one solar mass white dwarf typically has a diameter of about 10,000 kilometers, while a two solar mass neutron star has a diameter of approximately 20 kilometers. Despite having a greater mass, the neutron star is significantly smaller in size due to its extreme density and the effects of neutron degeneracy pressure. In comparison, the white dwarf, being less dense, has a much larger diameter. Thus, the white dwarf is vastly larger in size than the neutron star, despite its lower mass.


What determines whether a very massive star will become a neutron?

Whether a star will become a neutron star is determined by its mass. Generally, stars that are more than 8 solar masses (have a mass that is more than 8 times that of our Sun), but are less than 15 solar masses will become neutron stars when they die.


What would happen if more mass was added to a 1.4-solar-mass neutron star?

Adding more mass to a 1.4-solar-mass neutron star could potentially push it beyond the limits of neutron degeneracy pressure, causing it to collapse further. This could result in the formation of a black hole if the mass exceeds the Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff (TOV) limit for neutron stars.


What is the average density of a neutron star that has the same mass as the sun?

The average density of a neutron star with the same mass as the sun would be about 1 x 10^17 kg/m^3. Neutron stars are incredibly dense objects, as they are formed from the remnants of massive stars that have undergone supernova explosions.

What has mass of 3.4 solar masses?

6.76294 × 1030kilograms is 3.4 solar masses. Also you can find out any solar mass if you just type the solar mass on google.


What forms from a supernova?

Depending on the mass of the original star it will either end up as a neutron star (< 20 solar masses) or a black hole (> 20 solar masses).


What is the significance of 3 solar masses in a star's fate?

After a high-mass star explodes as supernova and leaves a core behind, the core would become a neutron star or a black hole. If the core is less than 3 solar masses, it would become a neutron star; if the mass exceeds 3 solar masses, the core would continue to collapse, forming a black hole.
