Difference between Compact star and Cygnus X-1

Compact star vs. Cygnus X-1

In astronomy, the term "compact star" (or "compact object") refers collectively to white dwarfs, neutron stars, and black holes. Cygnus X-1 (abbreviated Cyg X-1) is a galactic X-ray source in the constellation Cygnus, and the first such source widely accepted to be a black hole.

Similarities between Compact star and Cygnus X-1

Compact star and Cygnus X-1 have 12 things in common (in Unionpedia): Accretion disk, Astronomical object, Binary star, Black hole, Chandra X-ray Observatory, Electron, Event horizon, General relativity, Neutron star, Solar mass, Supernova, The Astrophysical Journal.

Accretion disk

An accretion disk is a structure (often a circumstellar disk) formed by diffused material in orbital motion around a massive central body.

General relativity

General relativity (GR, also known as the general theory of relativity or GTR) is the geometric theory of gravitation published by Albert Einstein in 1915 and the current description of gravitation in modern physics.

Supernova

A supernova (plural: supernovae or supernovas, abbreviations: SN and SNe) is a transient astronomical event that occurs during the last stellar evolutionary stages of a star's life, either a massive star or a white dwarf, whose destruction is marked by one final, titanic explosion.

The Astrophysical Journal

The Astrophysical Journal, often abbreviated ApJ (pronounced "ap jay") in references and speech, is a peer-reviewed scientific journal of astrophysics and astronomy, established in 1895 by American astronomers George Ellery Hale and James Edward Keeler.
