A collapsed star so dense that light cannot escape from it.

We began picking up nearby anomalies-spindly dark objects rev61ving quite close to that dense relic star.

Bessel had been born in 1784, and died in 1846, only a couple of years after finding the first evidence that small, dense stars exist.

After the mid-1930s, though, the investigation of the physics of dense stars was left in other hands.

A neutron star is a very small and dense star made almost completely of neutrons.

It keeps dense stars in equilibrium independent of the thermal structure of the star.

It would be a very dense star, but relatively non-reactive and giving off no more radiation than our single Sun does, perhaps.

These range from a merger of two middle-aged stars to a dense star stripping gas off a more diffuse companion.

Two Americans won the physics prize for their investigation of gravitational forces exerted by dense stars.

Black holes are thought to be dense dead stars with such tremendous gravity that no light can escape them.
