Neutron star density is nuclear density (~10¹⁷ kg/m³) where electrons forced into protons: typical 1.4 M☉ in 10 km radius.

  1. 1Input neutron star mass/radius
  2. 2Calculate density
  3. 3Compare to familiar materials and nuclear density

ସମାଧାନ ହୋଇଥିବା ଉଦାହରଣ

ଇନପୁଟ୍
1.4 M☉, R = 10 km
ଫଳ
Density ~10¹⁷ kg/m³ (teaspoon weighs ~1 trillion kg)
Incomprehensible density

ଏଡ଼ାଇବା ଯୋଗ୍ୟ ସାଧାରଣ ଭୁଲ

  • Neglecting spin effects on structure
  • Assuming uniform density

How is density even possible?

Neutron degeneracy pressure resists collapse; nuclear forces balance gravity.
