Gravitational collapse of a massive star, resulting in a Type II supernova. Gravitational collapse is the contraction of an astronomical object due to the influence of its own gravity, which tends to draw matter inward toward the center of gravity. [1] Gravitational collapse is a fundamental mechanism for structure formation in the universe.
At low metallicity, all stars will reach core collapse with a hydrogen envelope but sufficiently massive stars collapse directly to a black hole without producing a visible supernova. [ 102 ] Stars with an initial mass up to about 90 times the Sun, or a little less at high metallicity, result in a type II-P supernova, which is the most commonly ...
When core collapse occurs in a star with a core at least around fifteen times the Sun's mass (M ☉) — though chemical composition and rotational rate are also significant — the explosion energy is insufficient to expel the outer layers of the star, and it will collapse into a black hole without producing a visible supernova outburst.
Simulated collision of two neutron stars. A stellar collision is the coming together of two stars [1] caused by stellar dynamics within a star cluster, or by the orbital decay of a binary star due to stellar mass loss or gravitational radiation, or by other mechanisms not yet well understood.
The images show the surface of the star R. Doradus, a red giant star 180 light-years away in the Dorado constellation. The star has a diameter about 350 times that of the sun, and it serves as a ...
The angular momentum of a stellar black hole is due to the conservation of angular momentum of the star or objects that produced it. The gravitational collapse of a star is a natural process that can produce a black hole. It is inevitable at the end of the life of a massive star when all stellar energy sources are exhausted.
Both Newton and Bentley thought that the stars did not move and did not consider stars in motion. [2] A finite number of mutually attracting stars in motion can indeed avoid collapse. [3] Today it is known that an infinite universe uniformly filled with gravitating matter, if it originated in a static configuration, would indeed collapse.
A wave of high-profile sexual misconduct and racism allegations swept the YouTube landscape, entangling many of the platform’s breakout stars across genres like vlogging and beauty content.
