Royal Astronomical Society that suggest that two “compact stellar remnants” — which could be neutron stars, black holes or white dwarfs — collided and merged, resulting in a short-duration gamma-ray burst that hit Earth. 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 – black holes, neutron stars or white dwarfs – collided and merged together. 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. 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 our case, the processes of energy generation and conversion are particularly complicated because of the exotic nature of black holes. If a star has between 1.4 to 4 times our Sun's mass it will form a neutron star at its death. 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. Of star-forming dust [infrared in orange] along with X-ray sources [in blue] where collapsed stars – white dwarfs, neutron stars and black holes – are located. If a star is much greater than 3 times our Sun's mass it will form a black hole at its death. As the population of stars ages, it will consist either of the dead corpses of previous generations—dim objects such as white dwarfs or neutron stars and black holes—or of slowly evolving, faint, low-mass stars. Sources of gravitational waves could possibly include binary star systems composed of white dwarfs, neutron stars, or black holes. Black holes, white dwarfs, neutron stars and quasars emit an extremely strong, pulsing beam of Light, which is made up of the spectrum of Light waves that include Ultra-Violet.
