Title: Thorne-Zytkow Objects Post by: mccoy on Aug 27, 2022 06:33 pm Thorne-Zytkow Objects, or TZOs, are a very rare type of star, an extremely rare animal in God's cosmic zoo. Such occurrences proves to us that variability and diversity is a hallmark of God's blueprint of Creation. Basically, TZOs are neutron stars swallowed whole by red supergiants. They are recognized by abundance of rare elements and mass anomalies. Thorne–Żytkow object From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia J A Thorne–Żytkow object (TŻO or TZO), also known as a hybrid star, is a conjectured type of star wherein a red giant or red supergiant contains a neutron star at its core, formed from the collision of the giant with the neutron star. Such objects were hypothesized by Kip Thorne and Anna Żytkow in 1977.[1] In 2014, it was discovered that the star HV 2112, located in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC), was a strong candidate.[2] Another possible candidate is the star HV 11417, also located in the SMC.[3] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PzwfWdwFxZI |
