A black hole with the mass of a car would have a diameter of about 10 −24 m and take a nanosecond to evaporate, during which time it would briefly have a luminosity of more than 200 times that of the Sun. Lower-mass black holes are expected to evaporate even faster; for example, a black hole of mass 1 TeV/c 2 would take less than 10 −88 ...
The aqua circle is the light source as it would be seen if there were no lens, while white spots are the multiple images of the source (see Einstein ring). A gravitational lens is matter, such as a cluster of galaxies or a point particle, that bends light from a distant source as it travels toward
Extremal black hole – black hole with the minimal possible mass that can be compatible with a given charge and angular momentum. Black hole electron – if there were a black hole with the same mass and charge as an electron, it would share many of the properties of the electron including the magnetic moment and Compton wavelength.
For instance, in the long term, the collapse of a hypothetical matter cube will not result in a cube-shaped black hole. Instead, the resulting black hole will be indistinguishable from a black hole formed by the collapse of a spherical mass. In its transition to a spherical shape, the black hole formed by the collapse of a more complicated ...
A black hole is a region of spacetime exhibiting such strong gravitational effects that nothing—not even particles and electromagnetic radiation such as light—can escape from inside it. [1] The theory of general relativity predicts that a sufficiently compact mass can deform spacetime to form a black hole.
Direct collapse black holes (DCBHs) are massive black hole seeds theorized to have formed in the high-redshift Universe and with typical masses at formation of ~ 10 5 M ☉, but spanning between 10 4 M ☉ and 10 6 M ☉. The environmental physical conditions to form a DCBH (as opposed to a cluster of stars) are the following: [3] [4]
1972 — Jacob Bekenstein suggests that black holes have an entropy proportional to their surface area due to information loss effects; 1974 — Stephen Hawking applies quantum field theory to black hole spacetimes and shows that black holes will radiate particles with a black-body spectrum which can cause black hole evaporation
Globular cluster Mayall II (M31 G1) is a possible candidate for hosting an intermediate-mass black hole at its center [1]. An intermediate-mass black hole (IMBH) is a class of black hole with mass in the range of one hundred to one hundred thousand (10 2 –10 5) solar masses: significantly higher than stellar black holes but lower than the hundred thousand to more than one billion (10 5 –10 ...
