Post-Main Sequence Evolution of Massive Stars

Post-Main Sequence Evolution of Massive Stars. Stars of more than 8 solar masses leave behind neutron stars and black holes and typically explode as supernovae. But first, NOVAE from WDs. Back to binary star evolution: More massive star leaves MS first, becomes RG, then WD

STELLAR EVOLUTION

Stellar evolution is driven entirely by the never ending battle between pressure and gravity. As imbalances are reached, the star is driven to find a new energy source. Each stage in stellar evolution is marked by a different energy generation mechanism. STELLAR EVOLUTION. ? HR Diagram
