It is difficult compare the relative sizes of black holes, neutron stars, white dwarfs, the Sun, and red supergiants on the same sheet of paper. With Applications to White Dwarfs, Neutron Stars and Black Holes. Special and General Relativity. Sources of detectable gravitational waves could possibly include binary star systems composed of white dwarfs, neutron stars, or black holes. Their size differences are so vast. Comparison of the Sizes of Stellar Remnants. The term compact star (sometimes compact object) is used to refer collectively to white dwarfs, neutron stars, other exotic dense stars, and black holes. When a star starts running out of fuel, it usually cools off and collapses into one of three compact forms, depending on its total mass, a White Dwarf a Neutron Star or a Black Hole. We look at the skies and see stars at various stages of their evolution — young ones, middle aged ones, supernovas, and the remnants of supernovas — white dwarves, neutron stars, black holes. Black holes, white dwarfs, neutron stars and quasars emit an extremely strong, pulsing beam of Light, which is made up of the spectrum of Light waves that include Ultra-Violet. Series: Astronomy and Astrophysics Library. RXTE sent data from its last science observation to the ground early on Jan. The satellite provided unprecedented views into the extreme environments around white dwarfs, neutron stars and black holes. One of the assumptions was that there occurs an enormous emission of energy when black holes, neutron stars or white dwarfs collide – the galactic fusion happens for just seconds, but it sends out a vast wave of radiation. They suggest that two compact stellar remnants – black holes, neutron stars or white dwarfs – collided and merged together. Black Holes, Neutron Stars, White Dwarfs, Space and Time. They suggest that two compact stellar remnants, i.e., black holes, neutron stars, or white dwarfs, collided and merged together. €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 an introduction to degenerate matter, followed by a description the various stages of a stellar remnant's collapse preceding the possible formation of a black hole, see here.
