Awhite dwarf, which initially has a radius 3x10 m, is orbiting in a binary system and is accreting mass from its companion. during the accretion process, the mass increases from mo to a mass just beyond the chandrasekhar limit (1.4 mo), and the star collapses to form a neutron star of radius 10 m (a) at the time of collapse, how has the radius of the white dwarf changed from its initial value? (b) how much energy is released in the collapse? (c) a supernova releases about 1044j. compare this value to the one calculated above and comment (d) assuming the collapse produces a supernova, how efficient is the conversion of energy to photons? (e) how is the energy from the collapse released, if it is not all in photons?
