Description: A Summary of Stellar Evolution
(a) The evolution of isolated stars depends on their masses. The higher the mass, the shorter the lifetime. Stars less massive than about 8 solar
masses can eject enough mass to become white dwarfs. High-mass stars can produce Type II supernovae and become neutron stars or
black holes. The horizontal (time) axis is not to scale, but the relative lifetimes are accurate
