    But the total radiation emitted by a star (or other cosmic object) is at most equal to the total nuclear binding energy of isotopes in the star. For the density of the observable universe of about 4.6×10 −28 kg/m 3 and given the known abundance of the chemical elements, the corresponding maximal radiation energy density of 9.2×10 −31 kg/m ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypothetical_star

    A final state for a star in the far future (10 1500 years) of the universe, when all matter is transmuted to iron via quantum tunneling. — The universe isn't old enough for this form to come into existence. MECO: A hypothetical alternative to black holes. Q0957+561: Planck star: A star where the energy density is around the Planck density.

  4. Quasi-star - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quasi-star

    A quasi-star (also called black hole star) is a hypothetical type of extremely large and luminous star that may have existed early in the history of the Universe. They are thought to have existed for around 7–10 million years due to their immense mass .

  5. Compact object - Wikipedia

    A star in this hypothetical state is called a "quark star" or more specifically a "strange star". The pulsar 3C58 has been suggested as a possible quark star. Most neutron stars are thought to hold a core of quark matter but this has proven difficult to determine observationally. [citation needed]

    A-type star In the Harvard spectral classification system, a class of main-sequence star having spectra dominated by Balmer absorption lines of hydrogen. Stars of spectral class A are typically blue-white or white in color, measure between 1.4 and 2.1 times the mass of the Sun, and have surface temperatures of 7,600–10,000 kelvin.

    A preon star is a proposed type of compact star made of preons, a group of hypothetical subatomic particles. Preon stars would be expected to have huge densities, exceeding 10 23 kg/m 3. They may have greater densities than quark stars, and they would be heavier but smaller than white dwarfs and neutron stars. [6]
