If it is more massive than that about 8 solar masses the star will go supernova and leave behind a neutron star, or if massive enough a black hole. The term compact star (sometimes compact object) is used to refer collectively to white dwarfs, neutron stars, other exotic dense stars, and black holes. Such is the case of white dwarfs, neutron stars and black holes. €�This tell-tale signal, called a quasi-periodic oscillation or QPO, is a characteristic feature of the accretion disks that often surround the most compact objects in the universe — white dwarf stars, neutron stars and black holes. The connected arrow goes to the left because their X-ray luminosities could be 2x10^30 erg/s or lower). Depending on many different variables a star can end up as a white dwarf, neutron star, or a black hole. Brown Dwarfs, is a fourth, remnant of a dead star after White Dwarfs, Neutron Stars, and Black Holes. So far these signals were detected only in supermassive black holes, which contain millions of solar masses and is located in the center of a galaxy. Black Holes, Neutron Stars, White Dwarfs, Space and Time. Shows the central region of our Milky Way galaxy, only about 25,000 light years from Earth, revealing hundreds of white dwarf stars, neutron stars, and black holes bathed in an incandescent fog of multimillion-degree gas. The RXTE had an observatory mission, using X-ray wavelength emissions to study the environment around white dwarfs, neutron stars, and black holes. 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.

Stars all begin life the same way but the end of the life cycle of a star is the interesting part. If a star has between 1.4 to 4 times our Sun's mass it will form a neutron star at its death. Brown Dwarfs, in theory, have been around awhile, but the first to be discovered came in 1995. Black holes, like neutron stars, white dwarfs and normal stars, also have strong magnetic fields that get even stronger the closer you get to the event horizon, or the point from which light cannot escape.
