In a binary pair, the star that evolves to a white dwarf first.
What is the more massive star?
The reason stars leave the main sequence.
What is hydrogen is used up in the core?
The quick burn of a layer of hydrogen on a white dwarf, collected from a giant companion.
What is a nova?
This stays the same as a high-mass star expands and cools after leaving the main sequence.
What is luminosity?
Collapse, burning, and explosion of a white dwarf pushed over the Chandrasekhar limit by a giant companion.
What is a Type Ia Supernova?
Direction high mass stars move on the HR diagram after leaving the main sequence?
What is right?
A luminous event between a white dwarf and red giant that can reoccur multiple times in the same system.
What is a nova?
Type of fusion occurring in the core of supergiants when they first leave the main sequence.
What is helium fusion?
Two possible outcomes of a low-mass binary star system.
What are 2 white dwarfs or a Type 1a Supernova and a white dwarf?
A new one is added every time a new element begins fusing in the core of a supergiant.
What is a fusion shell? Supergiants can have many different types of fusion shells.
Physical properties of the core that increase as collapse accelerates.
What are gravity, density and temperature?
