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.
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 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.
The incident happened in Albany, Indiana just a few days before Christmas. Now, the family is releasing video of the frightening moment. Family releases video of Indiana deck collapse
A massive star collapses at the end of its life, emitting on the order of 10 58 neutrinos and antineutrinos in all lepton flavors. [2] The luminosity of different neutrino and antineutrino species are roughly the same. [3] They carry away about 99% of the gravitational energy of the dying star as a burst lasting tens of seconds.

Highly massive stars (with 25 or more times the mass of the Sun) can lose up to 10 −5 solar masses (M ☉) each year—the equivalent of 1 M ☉ every 100,000 years. [ 8 ] Type Ib and Ic supernovae are hypothesized to have been produced by core collapse of massive stars that have lost their outer layer of hydrogen and helium, either via winds ...
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 ...
