Binary star revolving arround center of mass

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the mechanics of binary stars revolving around their center of mass, emphasizing that their motion is relative to each other due to the absence of absolute motion. It also explores the concept of Type II supernovae and questions whether they can produce a stellar wind post-explosion. The consensus indicates that while neutron stars or black holes may not generate a traditional stellar wind, their interactions can still influence surrounding matter.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of binary star systems and their dynamics
  • Knowledge of supernova types, specifically Type II supernovae
  • Familiarity with neutron stars and black holes
  • Basic concepts of motion in astrophysics
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the mechanics of binary star systems and their center of mass
  • Study the characteristics and aftermath of Type II supernovae
  • Investigate the properties of neutron stars and black holes
  • Explore the concept of stellar winds and their formation processes
USEFUL FOR

Astronomy enthusiasts, astrophysicists, and students studying stellar dynamics and supernova phenomena.

why the binary star revolving around center of mass ?
could type 2 supernova ever had a stellar wind after explosion ?
 
Astronomy news on Phys.org
Since there is no such thing as absolute motion, the binary star motion concerns these stars relative to each other.

From the neutron star/black hole? Not in the traditional sense of what a stellar wind is.
