In this video, we will explore the fascinating world of neutron stars and their incredible properties. Neutron stars are one of the most exotic objects in the universe, formed when a massive star runs out of fuel and collapses under its own gravity. These stars are incredibly dense and small, with a diameter of only a few kilometers and a mass several times greater than the sun.
But did you know that the black widow is the heaviest known neutron star discovered so far? Black widow is a pulsar that orbits a companion star and periodically emits powerful beams of radiation. The name "black widow" comes from the fact that the pulsar is gradually consuming its companion star, which is much smaller and less massive.
In this video, we will explain how astronomers discovered the black widow and measured its mass, which turned out to be the heaviest among all known neutron stars. We will also discuss the implications of this discovery for our understanding of the properties of matter under extreme conditions, and how neutron stars can be used as cosmic laboratories to test fundamental physics theories.
So if you're interested in learning more about neutron stars, the black widow pulsar, and the latest discoveries in astrophysics, be sure to watch this video!
