A star ending its life with a mass of four to eight times the Sun's mass is expected to collapse and then undergo a supernova event. In the remnant that is not carried away by the supernova explosion, protons and electrons combine to form a neutron star with approximately twice the mass of the Sun. Such a star can be thought of as a gigantic atomic nucleus. Assume r = aA1/3. If a star of mass 3.44 1030 kg is composed entirely of neutrons (mn = 1.67 10-27 kg), what would its radius be?

What kind of star is most likely to become a white-dwarf supernova?

A star rotates with a period of 30 days about an axis through its center. The period is the time it takes a point on the star's equator to make one complete revolution around the axis of rotation. After the star undergoes a supernova explosion, the steller core, which had a radius of 1.0 x 10^4 Km collapses into a neutron star of radius 3.0 Km. What is the new period of rotaion of the star?
