If matter falls into a black hole, it will be accelerated so much that it will emit x-rays. These are emitted before the matter reaches the event horizon, that is, before it is "inside" the black hole. Any x-rays emitted after the matter passes the event horizon will stay inside.

Do all stars that become supernovae leave behind a neutron star?

No. The most massive stars will leave behind a black hole.


What remnant does a supernova leave?

Depending on the mass of the original star, it is either a black hole or a neutron star.


What is the difference between a Scchwarzschild and a Kerr black hole?

A Schwarzschild black hole is a non-rotating black hole. The Kerr black hole is a rotating black hole. Since the latter is more complicated to describe, it was developed much later.A Schwarzschild black hole is a non-rotating black hole. The Kerr black hole is a rotating black hole.

What would happen if you jumped into a Kerr black hole?

If you jumped into an "ordinary" Schwarzschild black hole, you would be crushed into a long line of particles, which means death by a black hole. If you jumped into a Kerr black hole, the same process may occur, but the only thing different is that a Kerr black hole spins, and a Schwarzschild black hole does not. That answer needs a bit more detail. Please use the "related link" below.

Can gamma ray pass through black hole?

No. Nothing can pass through a black hole. Once something enters it can never leave.


What gives a black hole its black color?

Nothing that enters a black hole can ever leave, not even light. Since black holes do not emit, reflect, or transmit any light, they are completely black.


Explosion of a supernova leave behind?

A neutron star, or a black hole. Which it is, depends on the mass that remains after the supernova explosion. Above a certain mass limit, a black hole will form.


How can a black hole be found?

A black hole can be found by finding a patch of space which is completely dark although there should be light there, lie a star or planet. I leave black hole tracking to astronomers and other professionals because I can't keep track of stars. :)

Will all stars that become supernovae leave behind a neutron star?

No, some leave a black hole instead of a neutron star.

Can the sun leave a black hole when it dies?

No. It is not nearly massive enough. When the sun dies it will leave behind a remnant called a white dwarf.


How much could the biggest black hole swallow?

Current theory indicates that once matter (or light) crosses the event horizon, it can never leave, since the escape velocity exceeds the speed of light.


Does a black hole suck in people?

If you near a black hole, then yes but the chances of getting close to one is very slim unless we somehow find a way to leave our solar system and fly to one.
