Gravitational waves suggest a 'forbidden zone' for stellar-origin black holes
An international team led by Monash University has uncovered evidence of a rare form of exploding star, helping to shed light on one of the most cataclysmic events in the universe. At the end of their lives, most massive stars collapse into black holes—objects with gravity so strong that not even light can escape.
At the end of their lives, most massive stars collapse to form black holes, objects with such intense gravity that not even light can escape them. However, some extremely massive stars are expected to reach temperatures so high that they end up jumping through the air in what is known as a supernova due to couple instability: an explosion so violent that the star completely disintegrates, leaving no black hole as a remnant. Predicted for the fir…
