What happens when black holes explode?
Answer: Black holes don’t really “explode”, which implies that they generate a large outburst of energy which ultimately tears them apart, but they do have outbursts (also, unfortunately, referred to as “explosions”).
What is the mass of a black hole made of?
The largest black holes are called “supermassive.” These black holes have masses that are more than 1 million suns together. Scientists have found proof that every large galaxy contains a supermassive black hole at its center. The supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way galaxy is called Sagittarius A.
Which mass is end as a black hole?
2 to 3 solar masses
In general, stars with final masses in the range 2 to 3 solar masses are believed to ultimately collapse to a black hole.
Does mass change in a black hole?
Except for its appearance, a black hole is the same as any other star. It has a mass-equivalence to it. When something falls into it its mass accordingly increases.
Is the remnant neutron star/black hole there immediately on the explosion?
In a supernova, is the remnant neutron star/ black hole there immediately on the explosion or does it take time? A neutron star that is left-over after a supernova is actually a remnant of the massive star which went supernova.
What happens when a black hole explodes?
If Rovelli and collaborators are right, the first black holes that formed in the universe, which formed many billions of years ago, should be exploding about now. And when they explode, they should release a huge amount of energy. Some of this energy will be emitted as light, which we can detect.
What happens when a black hole rip a star apart?
But scientists have observed black holes ripping stars apart, a process that releases a tremendous amount of energy. NASA’s Chandra X-ray observatory detected record-breaking wind speeds coming from a disk around a black hole.
What happens when a black hole swallows a star?
The black hole is surrounded by a ring of dust. When a star passes close enough to be swallowed by a black hole, the stellar material is stretched and compressed as it is pulled in, releasing an enormous amount of energy.
