What are vampire and zombie stars?
The zombie star can become a Vampire Star by consuming fuel and energy from a nearby star to revive itself. It gets its name from the supernatural creation where the monster has died but comes back alive to feast on the living.
What does a vampire star do?
What is a Vampire (Symbiotic Binary) Star? Vampire Star acts in the same way a supernatural vampire does in that it will suck blood from its victim except its hydrogen and not blood. Eventually the Vampire star will suck too much out of the victim that the victim will be destroyed or turned it in a white dwarf star.
How much bigger than the sun was this zombie star?
The star was 50 times more massive than our sun, and the explosion itself is the longest-lived ever seen. It may be even the most massive supernova ever observed, Arcavi said.
Do zombie galaxies exist?
Sometimes a galaxy can just run out of gas, or enter a mode where its gas is too hot to collapse into new stars. They keep their youthful spiral shapes, but their star formation fades over many billions of years. “We call these zombie galaxies,” Schawinski says.
Why is the Milky Way called a vampire?
Type O stars drive galaxy evolution, but these stellar giants can also exhibit extreme behavior, garnering the nickname “vampire stars” for the way they suck matter from neighboring companions.
How are blue stragglers created?
The most likely explanation is that blue stragglers are the result of stars that come too close to another star or similar mass object and collide. The newly formed star has thus a higher mass, and occupies a position on the HR diagram which would be populated by genuinely young stars.
What is the difference between a vampire star and symbiotic star?
The term Vampire Star is more exotic for some and allows people to get a better understanding what is going on. Symbiotic star is the scientific term rather than using Vampire star. The Vampire star will start off as the smaller star but nearing the end of the sucking process will inevitably be the larger of the two.
What would happen if a vampire star attacked a star?
Eventually the Vampire star will suck too much out of the victim that the victim will be destroyed or turned it in a white dwarf star. It could also possibly explode in a supernova destroying both stars in the process.
Are spiritual zombies a real threat?
A full scale “Zombie Apocalypse” might be low on your list of things to worry about, but spiritual zombies can be a real threat. These real life “zombies” won’t zap your energy in the same way as a psychic vampire, but interactions with them can take a toll.
