There are more white dwarfs. Only the most massive stars can form black holes. White dwarfs form from low to medium mass stars, which far outnumber the supermassive ones.

What remain of a star that has no fuel but glows faintly is a black dwarf?

A black dwarf is a theoretical stellar remnant that is predicted to form when a white dwarf cools down completely. It is essentially a cold, dark, and compact stellar remnant with no nuclear fusion activity. No black dwarfs are currently known to exist in the Universe due to the immense timescales required for white dwarfs to cool down to become black dwarfs.


Are there black holes in our galaxy?

Yes. Our galaxy has a supermassive black hole at its center and likely millions of stellar mass black holes scattered throughout.


Are there any black hole in the sombrero Galaxy?

That is very likely. 1) Every larger galaxy, or most of them, have a supermassive black hole in their center. 2) Since a certain percentage of star eventually become a stellar black hole, any galaxy should have several stellar black holes,in addition to the supermassive black hole.


Are there any black holes in your galaxy?

Yes. There is a supermassive black hole at the center of the galaxy and a number of stellar mass black holes through the rest of it.


What stellar remnants can form when stars die?

When a star dies, it can leave behind different types of stellar remnants depending on its mass. Some examples include white dwarfs, neutron stars, and black holes. White dwarfs are formed from the remnants of low to medium mass stars, neutron stars are formed from the remnants of massive stars, and black holes are formed from the remnants of the most massive stars.


Why have no white dwarfs cooled to form black dwarfs in the galaxy?

According to astronomers and authors Jonathan Weiner and Carl Sagan, white dwarfs - which have been an accepted entities by all astronomers for decades - require an amount of time to "cool down" that well exceeds the current age of the universe - hence there hasn't been enough time for any of them to cool down yet and become "black dwarfs".


What is the most common form of black holes in the universe?

Probably stellar mass black holes


Is there any black hole in the galaxy Satan A?

I don't think there is a galaxy called "Satan A"; at least, not as a standard name, generally accepted by astronomers. On the other hand, most larger galaxies have a supermassive black hole at its center, and it can be expected that any galaxy has several stellar black holes.


Where are black holes generally found in a galaxy?

Most or all galaxies appear to have supermassive black holes at their centers and probably have stellar mass black holes scattered throughout.


Are black holes very common?

Yes, Black Holes are very common in our galaxy and general.


What is the most known type of black hole?

The stellar black holes are the most common ones, as far as we know.


How long do white dwarfs live?

White dwarfs can have extremely long lifespans, lasting billions to trillions of years. After exhausting their nuclear fuel, they gradually cool and fade over time. Since they do not undergo nuclear fusion, their evolutionary process is primarily a slow cooling phase, making them some of the oldest stellar remnants in the universe. Eventually, they may become black dwarfs, although the universe is not old enough for any black dwarfs to exist yet.
