Schwarzschild Radius - Classification By Schwarzschild Radius - Stellar Black Hole

Stellar Black Hole

If one accumulates matter at nuclear density (the density of the nucleus of an atom, about 1018 kg/m3; neutron stars also reach this density), such an accumulation would fall within its own Schwarzschild radius at about 3 solar masses and thus would be a stellar black hole.

Famous quotes containing the words black and/or hole:

    I cut my teeth as the black raccoon—
    For implements of battle.
    Countee Cullen (1903–1946)

    Someone had literally run to earth
    In an old cellar hole in a byroad
    The origin of all the family there.
    Thence they were sprung, so numerous a tribe
    That now not all the houses left in town
    Made shift to shelter them without the help
    Of here and there a tent in grove and orchard.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
