简并物质如何使白矮星与中子星拥有质量越大半径越小的反常性质？
How does degenerate matter give white dwarfs and neutron stars the counterintuitive more-mass-smaller-radius property?
白矮星靠电子简并压、中子星靠中子简并压支撑，二者压强主要随密度而非温度上升。简并气体满足 p 正比于 ρ 的 5/3 次方（非相对论）或 4/3 次方（极端相对论，逼近质量上限），质量增大使引力压缩更强、半径反而缩小，直到达到各自的质量极限。
White dwarfs (electron degeneracy) and neutron stars (neutron degeneracy) are supported by pressure that scales with density, not temperature. Degenerate gas obeys p∝ρ^(5/3) (non-relativistic) or p∝ρ^(4/3) (ultra-relativistic, near the mass limit); greater mass means stronger gravitational compression and a smaller radius, until the respective mass limit is reached.

中微子驱动的冲击波机制如何解释核心坍缩超新星的爆发？
How does the neutrino-driven shock mechanism explain a core-collapse supernova explosion?
大质量恒星铁核坍缩形成原中子星，释放的绝大部分引力能以中微子形式带走。停滞的吸积激波从原中子星获得中微子加热（增益区）后重新获得能量，在多维对流与 SASI 不稳定性帮助下突破束缚而爆发。该机制仍依赖数值模拟来定量验证。
The iron core of a massive star collapses into a proto-neutron star, releasing most gravitational energy as neutrinos. The stalled accretion shock is re-energized by neutrino heating in the gain region and, aided by multidimensional convection and SASI instability, breaks out. The mechanism still relies on numerical simulations for quantitative validation.

超新星的镍-56 衰变加热如何解释 Ia 与 II 型光变曲线？
How does nickel-56 decay heating explain the light curves of Type Ia and Type II supernovae?
Ia 型由白矮星热核爆炸合成约 0.5–1 倍太阳质量的镍-56，其经镍-56 到钴-56 再到铁-56 的衰变释放的伽马射线被抛射物吸收，主导了峰值后数周的光变。II 型则部分由镍-56 加热、部分由氢包层再复合发光共同贡献，故光变形态与 Ia 明显不同。
In Type Ia, the thermonuclear explosion of a white dwarf synthesizes ~0.5–1 solar mass of nickel-56; its decay chain nickel-56 → cobalt-56 → iron-56 releases gamma rays absorbed by ejecta, dominating the light curve for weeks. Type II light curves are shaped both by nickel-56 heating and hydrogen-envelope recombination, giving a distinctly different shape.

什么是赫罗图（H-R 图），它揭示了恒星的什么规律？
What is the Hertzsprung–Russell (H–R) diagram and what pattern does it reveal?
赫罗图以恒星的光度（或绝对星等）对表面温度（或光谱型）作图，绝大多数恒星落在从左上到右下的主序带上。它直观展示了恒星的演化阶段与质量–光度的统计关系，是恒星天体物理学的基石工具。
The H–R diagram plots stellar luminosity (or absolute magnitude) against surface temperature (or spectral type); most stars lie on the diagonal main sequence. It reveals evolutionary stages and the mass–luminosity relation, forming a cornerstone of stellar astrophysics.

红巨星与红超巨星在外层膨胀上的差别由什么决定？
What determines the difference in envelope expansion between red giants and red supergiants?
红巨星是低到中等质量恒星（约 8 倍太阳质量以内）离开主序后外层膨胀、表面冷却的结果；红超巨星则是大质量恒星演化晚期的更庞大阶段。二者膨胀程度主要由恒星初始质量与外层氢壳层的产能率决定，超巨星半径可达太阳的数百倍。
Red giants are the expanded, cooled envelopes of low-to-intermediate mass stars (within ~8 solar masses) after leaving the main sequence; red supergiants are the even larger late stage of massive stars. The extent of expansion is set mainly by initial mass and the hydrogen-shell burning rate—supergiants can reach hundreds of solar radii.

脉冲星为何会发出周期性射电脉冲？
Why do pulsars emit periodic radio pulses?
脉冲星是高速自转的中子星，拥有极强的倾斜偶极磁场。其磁极沿磁轴喷出相对论性粒子束，随自转扫过地球时就像灯塔，产生毫秒到秒量级的严格周期射电脉冲。周期缓慢变长反映自转能因磁偶极辐射而损失。
Pulsars are rapidly rotating neutron stars with extremely strong, tilted dipole magnetic fields. Particle beams shot from the magnetic poles sweep past Earth like a lighthouse as the star spins, producing strictly periodic radio pulses from milliseconds to seconds. The slowly lengthening period reflects spin energy lost to magnetic dipole radiation.

恒星主序阶段能量的主要来源是什么？
What is the main energy source of a star during the main-sequence phase?
主序星通过核心的氢核聚变（质子–质子链或 CNO 循环）将氢转化为氦，释放的能量以辐射压对抗引力坍缩，维持流体静力学平衡。太阳约 99% 的主序寿命都消耗在这一阶段。
Main-sequence stars generate energy by core hydrogen fusion—the proton–proton chain or CNO cycle—converting hydrogen to helium. The released energy, as radiation pressure, balances gravity and maintains hydrostatic equilibrium. The Sun spends about 99% of its main-sequence life in this phase.

钱德拉塞卡极限的数值和物理意义是什么？
What is the value and physical meaning of the Chandrasekhar limit?
钱德拉塞卡极限约为 1.4 倍太阳质量，是白矮星靠电子简并压能支撑自身引力的最大质量。超过此极限，电子简并压无法抗衡引力，白矮星将坍缩（通常引发 Ia 型超新星）。它标定了低质量恒星演化的终点。
The Chandrasekhar limit is about 1.4 solar masses, the maximum mass a white dwarf can support by electron degeneracy pressure. Beyond it, degeneracy pressure fails and the dwarf collapses (typically triggering a Type Ia supernova). It marks the endpoint of low-mass stellar evolution.
