Neutron Degeneracy
Neutron degeneracy is a stellar application of the Pauli Exclusion Principle, as is electron degeneracy. No two neutrons can occupy identical states, even under the pressure of a collapsing star of ...
Neutron Stars - Introduction
Brief introduction from NASA on the nature of neutron stars, the most dense objects known, created in the cores of massive stars during supernova explosions. Includes links to related topics.
ISIS Pulsed Neutron & Muon Source
The homepage of the world's leading pulsed neutron source
Autobiography of Bertram N. Brockhouse
Bertram N. Brockhouse (1918 - ) received the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1994 for pioneering contributions to the development of neutron scattering techniques for studies of condensed matter. In ...
Event Horizon
After collapse to the neutron star stage, stars with masses less than 1-3 solar masses should remain neutron stars. Those of masses greater than 1 to 3 collapse toward zero spatial extent - toward a ...
Hyperphysics - Neutrons
Structure and stability of the neutron with good links to other relevant parts of the site.
Nuclear Isotope Half-Lifes
The site demonstrates the half-life of ten basic nuclei and you can add or subtract a proton or a neutron to the current isotope.
Cygnus X-1
Doppler studies of this blue supergiant in Cygnus indicate a period of 5.6 days in orbit around an unseen companion. The mass of the companion is calculated to be 8-10 solar masses, much too large to ...
Neutron Star
For a sufficiently massive star, an iron core is formed and still the gravitational collapse has enough energy to heat it up to a high enough temperature to either fuse or fission iron. Either in the ...
Autobiograpy of Clifford G. Shull
Clifford G. Shull (1915 - 2001) received the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1994 for pioneering contributions to the development of neutron scattering techniques for studies of condensed matter.
