  1. 2. When two stars orbit around each other with a common center of mass.
  2. 6. Fusion reaction where hydrogen converts to helium.
  3. 7. Highly magnetized neutron star. Spins rapidly and emits electromagnetic radiation from its poles.
  4. 8. If a star has 1.44 times the mass of the sun, it will not be a white dwarf but instead explodes into a supernova at its death.
  5. 10. Two neutrons cannot collide with each other. Yet, when a core collapses, the neutrons pack so densely and the reason for neutron stars.
  6. 12. The momentum of a rotating object will NOT change until an external force is applied on it.
  7. 13. A stage a low mass star undergoes after the initial star runs out of fuel.
  8. 14. These stars are long lived and are typically F,G,K,and M stars.
Down
  1. 1. When matter is so compact, electrons take up the lowest quantum states.
  2. 3. Explosion from a two-star system
  3. 4. Very highly magnetized neutron star. It is so magnetized it slows its own spin down and is one of the most dangerous objects in space.
  4. 5. The rapid collapse and explosion of a massive star.
  5. 9. The ending stage of a low mass star.
  6. 11. Stellar remnants (ex. neutron stars, white dwarfs, black holes).
