It finds a sea of hot gas enveloping thousands of white dwarfs, neutron stars and black holes. For those with serious interest in neutron stars and other compact objects, an excellent reference is "Black Holes, White Dwarfs, and Neutron Stars", by Stuart Shapiro and Saul Teukolsky (1983, John Wiley and Sons). 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. Chandra also finds regions aglow with the light of massive young 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. An artist's impression of the merger of two neutron stars. White dwarfs, neutron stars, black holes, X-ray pulsars you name it and this book has it. €�White dwarf/neutron star or black hole binaries are thought to be quite rare, although there is a huge range in the number per Milky Way-like galaxy in the literature. 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. They suggest that two compact stellar remnants – black holes, neutron stars or white dwarfs – collided and merged together. In all it gives This is an exciting account about binary stars and the way black holes, white dwarfs, and neutron stars can evolve in them.
