  2. Event horizon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Event_horizon

    For black holes, this manifests as Hawking radiation, and the larger question of how the black hole possesses a temperature is part of the topic of black hole thermodynamics. For accelerating particles, this manifests as the Unruh effect , which causes space around the particle to appear to be filled with matter and radiation.

  3. Sagittarius A* - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sagittarius_A*

    Sagittarius A*, abbreviated as Sgr A* (/ ˈ s æ dʒ ˈ eɪ s t ɑːr / SADGE-AY-star [3]), is the supermassive black hole [4] [5] [6] at the Galactic Center of the Milky Way.Viewed from Earth, it is located near the border of the constellations Sagittarius and Scorpius, about 5.6° south of the ecliptic, [7] visually close to the Butterfly Cluster (M6) and Lambda Scorpii.

  4. Black hole - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_hole

    The information that is lost includes every quantity that cannot be measured far away from the black hole horizon, including approximately conserved quantum numbers such as the total baryon number and lepton number. This behaviour is so puzzling that it has been called the black hole information loss paradox. [69] [71]

  5. Schwarzschild radius - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schwarzschild_radius

    (Supermassive black holes up to 21 billion (2.1 × 10 10) M ☉ have been detected, such as NGC 4889.) [16] Unlike stellar mass black holes, supermassive black holes have comparatively low average densities. (Note that a (non-rotating) black hole is a spherical region in space that surrounds the singularity at its center; it is not the ...

  6. Kruskal–Szekeres coordinates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kruskal–Szekeres_coordinates

    The event horizons bounding the black hole and white hole interior regions are also a pair of straight lines at 45 degrees, reflecting the fact that a light ray emitted at the horizon in a radial direction (aimed outward in the case of the black hole, inward in the case of the white hole) would remain on the horizon forever. Thus the two black ...

  7. Outline of black holes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outline_of_black_holes

    Jacob Bekenstein - for the foundation of black hole thermodynamics and the elucidation of the relation between entropy and the area of a black hole's event horizon. Karl Schwarzschild - found a solution to the equations of general relativity that characterizes a black hole.

  8. Stephen Hawking may have cracked massive mystery of black holes

    www.aol.com/news/2015-08-26-stephen-hawking-may...

    Stephen Hawking provided a ground-breaking solution to one of the most mysterious aspects of black holes, called the "information paradox." Black holes look like they 'absorb' matter. Every time a ...

  9. Eddington–Finkelstein coordinates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddington–Finkelstein...

    The horizon r = 2GM and finite v (the black hole horizon) is different from that with r = 2GM and finite u (the white hole horizon) . The metric in Kruskal–Szekeres coordinates covers all of the extended Schwarzschild spacetime in a single coordinate system. Its chief disadvantage is that in those coordinates the metric depends on both the ...
