when a neutron star and a black hole meet does it produces gravitational waves like when two black hole meet
Answers
hay mate..here is ur answer....Neutron stars are stellar corpse with a mass equal to a few solar masses , packed in a sphere of radius about 10 km . Black holes are even denser than neutron stars. So, in tug of war of gravitational force between these two , neutron star will succumb. This explosion will produce gamma rays then x rays ,visible and soon on. These radiations can be seen on afterglow....thnx...keep questioning...have a nice day dear....@sachi1315...#sachi...
When a neutron star meets a black hole, both exert huge gravitational force. But escape velocity from Black holes is more than that of speed of light, hence it swallows the neutron star as a whole.
This results in neutron star being destroyed and an explosion occurs with various radiation occuring. These include gamma rays, X rays and also gravitational waves to some extent have been produced.
The Neutron - Black hole binary system are a known source of gravitational waves.
