- Many people think black holes continually suck in everything like great big cosmic bathtub drains. And what the heck are neutron stars? Understanding the nature of black holes and neutron stars--how they form, what they're like, and how we know they are there--can lead to a better understanding of how our Universe works.

- This year we chose for black holes. ...
- Do black holes exist in our Universe? .
- How can stars evolve into black holes? .
- This question is very important to answer the main question, because the current theories say that IF black holes are created there are three different sizes: .
- very low mass black holes: about 10-4 to 10-6 Msun .
- low mass black holes: about 100 to 102 Msun .
- heavy mass black holes: about 106 to 108 Msun .
- If there should be low mass black holes you should think that they have a progenitor of the massrange of a star. Of which kind of an object do you think of when you have an object in the massrange of a star? On the ground of the mass of a black hole you can assume that stars can evolve into low mass black holes.
- They think that very low mass black holes originate from primordial black holes. About high mass black holes, which will be in the center of galaxies, they have different theories. ...
- As I said to defend my subquestion: when you think that low-mass black holes can exist you will probably think about a stellar origin. ...
- Probably there will be a similar kind of border between neutron stars and black holes.
- Two people, Brown & Bethe, have estimated in 1994 that, when stars will evolve normally, there should be about 5x108 low-mass black holes in our Galaxy. But because we haven't noticed any of these black holes (except for maybe SN 1987A and 4U 1700-37), there is something wrong in the assumption that main sequence stars all will evolve equally. ...
- Which assumption in the evolution-theory of stars is wrong? If something is found: what has to be changed in that evolution-theory to explain that we don't have that many black holes as we have found now (assuming that black holes exist)? .
5. Observational Evidence of Black Holes: The Search For Real Black Holes
- www.sonic.net
- The Search For Real Black Holes.
- Black holes are, when described through classical physics, singularities of infinite mass from which no matter or energy (light) can escape. In 1974, however, Steven Hawking demonstrated that black holes display very different properties when viewed through quantum mechanics - they in fact emit light and matter.
- Unfortunately, we have said that black holes are objects of great mass, so the likelihood of the existence of black holes that emit large amounts of radiation is small. Even if there were black holes with low mass, they would be "used up" quickly by these emissions.
- Using Astronomical Instruments to "See" Black Holes.
- The idea of "seeing" a black hole is not an acceptable idea, since black holes are defined as objects which emit no radiation. A few methods have been proposed to show the effects of black holes, however.
- " (This emission is not a contradiction to the characterization of black holes provided above!) In 1972/1973, an object believed to be a black hole, as defined by this property, was found: CYGNUS X1.
6. ASTRONOMERS CLOSING IN ON BLACK HOLES

- ASTRONOMERS CLOSING IN ON BLACK HOLES.
- --- Measurements made with the Japanese-NASA satellite ASCA and other satellites imply the reality of the ``event horizon,'' the one-way membrane around black holes that is predicted by Einstein's theory of relativity. ... , offers the most direct evidence yet that black holes really exist. ...
- The most straightforward interpretation is that they are black holes. Narayan, McClintock and Garcia have found that some of these recently discovered black holes are not only ultra-dense, but that they actually ``vacuum up'' energy from their surroundings through their event horizons. This makes the case for black holes stronger. ...
- Insu Yi (now at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton) first revealed the possibility of a new mode of accretion around black holes, which they named an ``advection-dominated accretion flow,'' or ADAF. ...
- This is the most direct evidence scientists have had that black holes are real,'' says Narayan, who is Professor of Astronomy at Harvard University and Associate Director of the Center for Astrophysics. ...
- Can one look for the predicted difference between a black hole and a star with a normal surface? Indeed, yes, since nature has been kind enough to make two distinct kinds of X-ray novae: those with black holes (like V404 Cyg and several others) and those with neutron stars. ...
- Garcia, McClintock, and Narayan have analysed X-ray data on nine X-ray novae, four with candidate black holes and five with neutron stars. ... In the case of the black holes, nearly all the energy disappears through the event horizon and only a very small fraction is radiated. ...
- ``The observed difference is what we expected, and confirms that black holes do have event horizons,'' says Garcia, who is a Staff Astrophysicist at the Center for Astrophysics. ...
- The universe has large numbers of black holes in a variety of sizes and masses. If the work reported at Toronto is right, the vast majority of these black holes are accreting via ADAFs, and they will provide numerous opportunities in the years ahead to test the reality of event horizons around black holes. ...

- Black Holes .
- Black holes have long been one of the most popular, and at the same time misunderstood, cosmological pheonmena. Often times we are given a picture of black holes that is more terrifying than beautiful, which is indeed a tragic misrepresentation. Setting aside any fear of the idea that black holes do in fact exist, let us explore the world of these quite unique celestial bodies. What are Black Holes? Black holes are the result of a gravitational collapse that distorts the fabric of spacetime so drastically, nothing (save radiation) is allowed to escape. The formation of black holes is directly linked to the life cycle of a star. ... Properties of Black Holes Though we cannot see black holes, current comsmological theory does tell us a good deal about what they must look like. Black holes do, in many ways, resemble both stars and galaxies in thier conceptual composition. ... ) Black holes do, however, have an outer "shell," an area within that shell (or disc) where a good deal of space and possibly activity occurs, and finally, a dense core, where the real funny stuff happens. Though there are different classifications of black holes, there are certain specific characteristics thought to be common in all black holes. ... As you can see from the picture above, we know enough about black holes to label certain distinct portions of their composition. ... Current theory tells us that there lies at the center of all black holes, a singularity, a single point of infinite density.
