B The Impact of Tidal Force on a Star's Magnetic Field and Supernova

Click For Summary
Tidal forces from a binary companion can significantly stretch a star, impacting its magnetic field and the dynamics of its collapse during a supernova. The deformation caused by these forces may lead to changes in the star's magnetic field strength and configuration, potentially influencing the supernova explosion mechanism. Additionally, the interaction between the star's magnetic field and its material can affect the energy distribution during collapse. Understanding these effects is crucial for predicting supernova behavior and the resulting phenomena. The relationship between tidal forces and stellar evolution remains a key area of astrophysical research.

And if a star is severely stretched by tidal force, how does that affect its magnetic field and the process of it collapsing at the start of a supernova?

Do you mean like the tidal force due to a binary companion?
 

Thread 'Population 3 star (Pop III) candidate LAP1'

"Pop III stars are thought to be composed entirely of helium and hydrogen with trace amounts of lithium, the ingredients left over after the Big Bang. They formed early on, around 200 million years after the universe began. These stars are extremely rare because they died out long ago, although scientists have hoped that the faint light from these distant, ancient objects would be detectable. Previous Population III candidates have been ruled out because they didn't meet the three main...
