X-ray astronomy is a branch of astronomy that studies celestial objects emitting X-rays. These high-energy emissions can provide insights into extreme environments, such as those found around black holes and neutron stars.
Stellar evolution is the process by which a star changes over the course of time. This includes its formation from a nebula, its main sequence phase, and its eventual death, which can result in various end states such as white dwarfs, neutron stars, or black holes.
