Thumbnail of image, Near-infrared image of young binary stars with a faint companion (a planet?). Most of the material that formed the star is ejected into space in a supernova explosion, but the core of the star collapses to form a compact remnant which must be a white dwarf, a neutron star or a black hole. An exhausted star will evolve into a neutron star, a black hole or a white dwarf – depending on its mass. It's funny, because the more wacky combinations of stars and compact object (white dwarf, neutron star, or black hole) we find or imagine, the more remarkable evolutionary scenarios astronomers can conceive of playing out. While nothing in the universe just evaporates into emptiness, lets stop the process there and say we can call the time of death at these end points: White dwarf, neutron star, and black hole. 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.

A star undergoes many radical changes throughout its lifespan including the inevitable exhaustion of its fuel source. They are extremely massive stars with a strong force of gravity. Our Sun is expected to end as a white dwarf after it is a red giant. Now, researchers think they've got the solution — the burst of radiation could have been emitted by merger between superdense objects like black holes, white dwarfs or neutron stars. Sources of gravitational waves could possibly include binary star systems composed of white dwarfs, neutron stars, or black holes. 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. For 16 years NASA's Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer, RXTE to his friends, provided unprecedented views into the hearts of black holes, white dwarfs and neutron stars. An artist's impression of the merger of two neutron stars. Short duration gamma-ray bursts are thought to be caused by the merger of some combination of white dwarfs, neutron stars or black holes. 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. It is thus an ideal technique to study the galactic population of such faint or dark objects as brown dwarfs, red dwarfs, planets, white dwarfs, neutron stars, black holes, and Massive Compact Halo Objects.
