BLACK HOLE SWALLOWING NEUTRON STAR

BLACK HOLE SWALLOWING THE NEUTRON STAR Black holes are considered as giant hunters which are hungry for matter. They swallow every thing made up of matter. This time scientists have discovered a black hole swallowing it's nearby neutron star.  Scientists may have detected merger of black hole and neutron star. 900 millions years ago, black hole and neutron Star started merging which cause gravitational ripple in space-time fabric which was detected in last week at ligo and Virgo by highly sensitive light interferometer which is specially developed for detection of such type of gravitational waves.  Scientists from LIGO and VIRGO have claimed  that it is gravitational waves candidate. When two bodies in space time with very high mass interact with each other this causes conversion of mass into energy in form of gravitational waves.  The intensity depends on masses of two black holes or other celestial bodies. Scientists have observed the binary black holes or bina

NEUTRINOS (MILLIONS TIMES LIGHTER THAN ELECTRON)

GHOST PARTICLE (NEUTRINOS)      A neutrino is a subatomic particle that is very similar to an electron, but has no electrical charge and a very small mass, which might even be zero. Neutrinos are one of the most abundant particles in the universe. Because they have very little interaction with matter, however, they are incredibly difficult to detect. SPIN :   1/2 (chargeless) TYPES :               1. ELECTRON               2. MUON               3.TAU Neutrinos are termed as ghost particles because the scientists think, it is too  hard to detect  neutrinos as they are Massless and can't react with matter. It can pass through matter like earth, sun. Even billions of neutrinos still are passing through your palm but you don't know. Then how can we study these type of particles? As they are Massless or even can't react with ordinary matter, they are considered from one of the family of dark matter. But recently team of scientists successfully measure mass of t

PULSARS

PULSARS PULSARS are highly magnetized neutron star which is rotating at high speed . It is White dwarf or neutron star which emits electromagnetic radiation. Pulsars have strong magnetic field which funnels jet out particles in form of radiation. This radiation can be detected only if radiation points towards earth. This particles create a beam of light. Three distinct classes of pulsars are currently known , according to the source of the power of the electromagnetic radiation: 1. Rotation-powered pulsars , where the loss of rotational energy of the star provides the power, 2.Acceration power pulsars where gravitational potential energy of accerated matter is power source.  3.Magnstars where decay of electromagnetic field of pulsar provide power.  APPLICATIONS:                                     pulsar are used to find unobservable celestial object known as neutron star which rotates near to speed of light.   Milliseconds pulsar allowed to test        G
