What may the collapsed core of a supergiant star form?

What the core of the star will become is dependent of the mass of the supergiant star. Stars between about 3 and 10 solar masses will generally become neutron stars. Stars above 10 solar masses generally become black holes.


Would one cubic light year of water form a black hole?

No, one cubic light year of water would not form a black hole because the mass of the water would not be dense enough to collapse into a black hole. The density of water is much lower than what is required for a black hole to form.


Will betelgeuse become a black hole?

Its quite possible that when Betelgeuse goes supernova (within a short "astronomical" time scale) that the remaining core will have enough mass to become a black hole. When it does, it will become the most studied "star" in our lifetime.


What can form after the supernova of a red giant?

After the supernova of a red giant, remnants such as a neutron star or a black hole can form, depending on the mass of the original star. If the star was especially massive, it may also result in a supermassive black hole or a hypernova explosion.


What would be your weight in deep space and near a black hole?

Your "weight" is the magnitude of the gravitational force between you and another mass. -- In deep space, far from any other mass, the gravitational force between you and any other mass would be very small, but never zero. -- Near a back hole, the gravitational force between you and the black hole would be (gravitational constant) x (your mass) x (black hole's mass)/(your distance from the black hole)2

They are all astronomical terms for stars or star related.


What is the relationship between the mass of a black hole and its density?

The relationship between the mass of a black hole and its density is that as the mass of a black hole increases, its density also increases. This means that a black hole with a higher mass will have a higher density compared to a black hole with a lower mass.

How big does a supergiant have to be to form a black hole?

BIG! A supergiant must be at least eight times the size of our sun to create a force as strong as a black hole. And one million earths can fit into our sun, imagine that eight times; That's eight million earths!


What will Antares die as?

Antares is a red supergiant and has enough mass to explode as a supernova and then collapse into a black hole.


What is the name of the galaxy with a black hole?

It is currently believed that all spiral galaxies have a supergiant black hole at their centers and all galaxiesand globular clusters have several ordinary black holes scattered throughout them.


What is the relationship between a quasar and a black hole?

It is believed that quasars are most likely caused by supermassive black holes. Matter falling into the black hole would emit the radiation that has been observed.

What the core of the star will become is dependent of the mass of the supergiant star. Stars between about 3 and 10 solar masses will generally become neutron stars. Stars above 10 solar masses generally become black holes.


What is the relationship between black hole entropy, soft hair, and their implications for our understanding of the information paradox?

The relationship between black hole entropy, soft hair, and the information paradox is that they are all interconnected concepts in the study of black holes. Black hole entropy refers to the amount of disorder or information contained within a black hole. Soft hair refers to the low-energy quantum excitations around a black hole that may store information about what falls into the black hole. The information paradox arises from the conflict between the idea that information cannot be lost in a quantum system and the theory that black holes can destroy information. Recent research suggests that soft hair may play a role in resolving this paradox by potentially encoding information about what falls into a black hole, thus preserving it.


What is the age of red supergiant stars?

Red supergiant stars typically have ages ranging from a few million to a few tens of millions of years. They are in a late stage of their evolution before eventually transitioning into a supernova or a black hole.
