ASTROPHYSICAL COMPACT OBJECTS AND THEIR PROPERTIES
Keywords:
compact objects, neutron star, white dwarf, black hole, gravitational waves, electromagnetic radiation, astrophysics, stellar evolutionAbstract
This article analyzes the main theoretical concepts and physical properties of compact objects in astrophysics — neutron stars, white dwarfs, and black holes. It discusses the formation processes and internal structures of these objects, as well as the methods of their detection through electromagnetic and gravitational radiation. Furthermore, the role of compact objects in high-energy astrophysics and cosmic evolution is highlighted. The article is based on modern scientific research and observations, and it also explores their practical significance.
