I need to find the mass and temperature of these stars.? Q. The WD stars all have a mass between .7 and 1.4 solar mass and range in temperature between a few thousand degrees and 25,000 degrees. I am looking for data that shows how mass and temperature are related in these type of stars. Asked by jim m - Mon Mar 5 16:31:30 2007 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments A. Mass and temperature are essentially unrelated in white dwarf stars. They're held up by electron degeneracy pressure, and so the thermal pressure caused by their temperature is not significant. A white dwarf will maintain a constant mass as it cools to zero temperature. Answered by unknown - Mon Mar 5 17:32:04 2007 What are the interiors of old white dwarf stars made of? Q. It might even be your best friend... Good guess! Stars big enough to make Iron don't form white dwarfs though. Marilyn really liked them. Asked by Mr. Potatohead - Fri Jun 22 23:48:10 2007 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments A. About 50 light years away, in the constellation Centaurus, there is a white dwarf that astronomers have now named "Lucy", as it is made from diamond (an allotrope of carbon) as per the Beatles song "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds". As this 2004 BBC news item explains (click link). "The huge cosmic diamond - technically known as BPM 37093 - is actually a crystallised white dwarf. A white dwarf is the hot core of a star, left over after the star uses up its nuclear fuel and dies. It is made mostly of carbon. For more than four decades, astronomers have thought that the interiors of white dwarfs crystallised, but obtaining direct evidence became possible only recently." Wikipedia states: "White dwarf stars consist orimarily of carbon and… [cont.] Answered by brucebirchall - Sat Jun 23 08:35:46 2007 Could Godzilla exist on a white dwarf or neutron star?
Q. Would Godzilla be able to exist on a white dwarf star or neutron star? If so, how much would he weigh and how tall would he be? Let's assume his skeletons are made of carbon nanotubules. Asked by Mr SmoothHead - Tue Mar 25 22:38:21 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. Gosh. It's so rare for anyone to mention my old boyfriend's name anymore. (Seriously, I fell in love with Godzilla when he became a good guy) However, I don't believe Godzilla could exist on a white dwarf, for he would no doubt smash the dwarf. A neutron star wouldn't work either. Godzilla is a reptile of sorts that requires an ocean enviornment to survive, so he's got to stay on Earth. Lucky for me.
