It's funny, because the more wacky combinations of stars and compact object (white dwarf, neutron star, or black hole) we find or imagine, the more remarkable evolutionary scenarios astronomers can conceive of playing out. Royal Astronomical Society that suggest that two “compact stellar remnants” — which could be neutron stars, black holes or white dwarfs — collided and merged, resulting in a short-duration gamma-ray burst that hit Earth. €�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. 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. In addition, many binary systems can have compact components and can exist in a variety of ways. Michael Muno is an astrophysicist who uses Chandra, among other telescopes, to study some of the most exotic objects in the Universe: white dwarfs, neutron stars, and black holes. Neutron star simulation in Astrophysics is being discussed at Physics Forums. As the population of stars ages, it will consist either of the dead corpses of previous generations—dim objects such as white dwarfs or neutron stars and black holes—or of slowly evolving, faint, low-mass stars. Have you tried Black Holes, White Dwarfs, and Neutron Stars, by Shapiro and Teukolsky? Black holes, white dwarfs, and neutron stars. They suggest that two compact stellar remnants – black holes, neutron stars or white dwarfs – collided and merged together. Sources of gravitational waves could possibly include binary star systems composed of white dwarfs, neutron stars, or black holes. The RXTE had an observatory mission, using X-ray wavelength emissions to study the environment around white dwarfs, neutron stars, and black holes. Black.holes.white.dwarfs.and.neutron.stars.pdf.
