Explanation: Star formation occurs at a faster pace in M82 -- a galaxy with about 10 times the rate of massive star birth (and death) compared to our Milky Way . ... The false color image even resolves bright spots which are likely shocked supernova remnants and X-ray bright binary stars . Also observed as a radio galaxy and a bright celestial infrared source, M82's aspect in optical pictures has led to its popular moniker, the Cigar Galaxy . ...

What happens to a star heavier than five solar masses? ... Stars about ten solar masses probably behave like our five solar mass star until they reach the end of core-helium burning. ... The Crab nebula was formed after a massive explosion ripped a star apart in 1054. ... Today, the glowing outer layers of the star are still rushing away from a tiny star in the centre. ... An incredible explosion rips through the outer layers of the star, releasing colossal amounts of energy in a supernova explosion. ...

Astronomers have found a radio pulsar with a companion at least 11 times the mass of the Sun - the most massive pulsar companion known. The identity of the companion is uncertain: it may be a massive late-type (red) star, a massive but compact blue star, or possibly a black hole. ... The probability of this late-type star being there by chance, and not being the pulsar companion, is only about 1.3%," says team member Dr. Fernando Camilo of Columbia University. ... So what can the companion be? ...

... Acceleration of particles in the vicinity of a massive black hole We propose a two-step mechanism for charged particle acceleration in the magnetosphere of a massive black hole surrounded by an accretion disk. Particles first gain energy by stochastic process during the accretion phase. It is shown that effective proton acceleration up to energies eV is possible in the turbulent magnetized accretion disk. ...

... If the mass of the collapsing star is more than three solar masses, however, no force can prevent it from collapsing completely to become a black hole. What is a black hole? Mini black holes . ... For Further Reading About Black Holes A black hole is a region of space in which the pull of gravity is so strong that nothing can escape. ... A black hole with a mass less than three solar masses would not form on its own; its gravity is too weak to cause it to completely collapse in on itself. ...

... The explosion of a star as a Supernova is certainly one of the most energetic events observable in the whole universe, and their radiation covers the whole band from radio to gamma-rays, accompanied with neutrino emission. ... Type Ia SNe are supposed to result from mass transfer inside a binary system consisting of a white dwarf star and an evolving giant star, which results in a termonuclear explosion. ...

We cannot observe the way the distant universe accelerates cosmic rays or produces energetic photons, but acceleration processes also occur on our Sun , though on a much more moderate scale. ... That is why such events are often missed by cosmic ray detectors near the equator, where the lowest energies are excluded by the Earth's magnetic field. The best detectors for observing solar particles are therefore those sensitive to the lowest energies of the cosmic radiation. ...
