heaviest ringed body (non gas giant) - shivarokkju 12 - 13.1308 earth masses

I just realised that the water world i posted on the previous page actualy qualifies for this. 26.0702 earth masses.

Edit: After beeing a little more thorough in my search through your record book i also realised that it also beats the previous record for Water world with the highest surface pressure at 12,297.37. Three times higher than the old record :)

added latest records!

also here's the original post on nesting:
Another possible new category (stellar) - deepest nesting of a stellar body: 245 G. Carinae A 5 A is a 3rd-tier stellar body

That is to say, it is a star orbiting a star that orbits another star, without any binary relationships.

Theoretically, a 4th-tier stellar orbit is also possible, given a sufficiently heavy primary star.
seems binary's don't count as several nestings, they share the same one I think?
Here's a quick pic I made:

OK so it's actually quite simple, just that the graphical representation may be confusing when binaries are involved.
 
I'm not certain if something is wrong here, but there seem to be issues with the following entries. Might be typo(s), comma vs. decimal, or maybe the entries are correct and the game just doesn't know what it's talking about:

Oldest Star - PLAA EURK KC-U B46-0 at 18,474 million years - Nutter (At 18.47 billion years old, this star is older than our entire universe.)
Oldest Neutron Star - Blu Aescs BL-V d3-0 at 16,646 Million Years - SpacialKatana (So is this one.)



Heaviest Star - Eta Carinae with a Solar Mass of 120.0000 - schronz
Heaviest Black Hole - Mintaka B with 37.5938 Solar Masses - Nutter

How is any given not-a-black-hole over 3 times as massive as any given black hole? Isn't a black hole, by definition, so incredibly, mind-shatteringly massive that not even light can escape its gravity?

Patau, thanks for the explanation. That does help.

Good question. Seems like an oversight.

I'm no astronomer, all I know is what Wikipedia tells me ;) According to that Massives start have a minimum weight of 7-10 solar masses, but it can go way above that. 120 SM is even the correct Mass Eta Carinae has according to Wiki. Black Holes vary in mass, starting at the Mass of the Moon and going up to 10^10 SM.

Wikipedia also tells us that our galaxy as a whole moves and on its path to becomming what it is now consumed a number of other Galaxyies to form the galaxy it is now it actually is still doing this to surrounding galaxies, this can explain that stars older then our galaxy are settled down in our galaxy.

hope this helps

Hi Patau,

Thanks for the great work, keep it up.
If I may: I would suggest to make the book pages a bit larger than they currently are, it's getting impossible to read some of the records (and so to break them as well :p)
Could you have a look into this?

Thanks
CMDR Tylar

That is true, but if current estimation of the age of the universe are even remotely accurate (around 13.5 billion years), 18 billion years old star is impossible.

No, a black hole is so incredibly, mind-shatteringly dense that not even light can escape its gravity. Compress all the mass of the Earth in the volume of the Moon and (while it won't become a black hole) its surface gravity will be greater because you're closer to the object's center of gravity. A star's fusion reaction produces so much radiation that the pressure of the radiation balances the gravity which initially started that ball of gas collapsing. When the star doesn't have enough fuel left to sustain the reaction, it collapses again. If it has enough mass, surface gravity will increase so much as it collapses that it will just keep collapsing, to the point where gravity overpowers the other fundamental forces (neutron star), or even to the point where the escape velocity is >c (black hole). When it becomes a black hole, the matter can't even escape its own gravitational pull and will collapse into a point of infinite density (the singularity).

In reality, most black holes will have a mass a fraction of their parent star's, as the star will usually shed a large amount of its mass when it goes supernova, creating a nice, shiny nebula.

This is all a lot more complicated than Newton's inverse-square law for gravitational force, but Newton's equation still helps with illustration. Newton figured out a long time ago that the force (which is mass times acceleration) two objects will experience due to the gravitational attraction between them is equal to the product of the objects' masses divided by the square of the distance between them, then multiplied by some fundamental constant which had yet to be discovered.

If the object's mass is contained at a single, infinitely dense point, then gravitational force can approach infinity as distance approaches zero.

You have added my oldest T-type from my previous post as the oldest T-Tauri by mistake :p

Sorry about all the work I'm giving you guys, but I had to clear out my incoming folder :)

Apparently the profanity filter wont allow me to post the ammonia based life giant's name correctly "Y.H"

Couldn't see a listing for this, so would humbly like to submit this entry:


SHORTEST DISTANCE BETWEEN TWO ORBITING STARS
HD 157016 B AND HD 157016 C - 5.81 LS CMDR DrNoesis


Some screenies for reference here:
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=378947678
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=378947719


As you can see from the image, HD157016 B's orbit actually takes it inside the other star, technically making the distance 0, but I figured I'd measure the distance as it was when discovered, where it's closest to its largest value.
 
Pretty sure I just shattered a record. Here's a 19,968 million year old star.

Edit: Woops, read that screenie wrong.
