If matter falls into a black hole, it will be accelerated so much that it will emit x-rays. These are emitted before the matter reaches the event horizon, that is, before it is "inside" the black hole. Any x-rays emitted after the matter passes the event horizon will stay inside.

Do all stars that become supernovae leave behind a neutron star?

No. The most massive stars will leave behind a black hole.


What remnant does a supernova leave?

Depending on the mass of the original star, it is either a black hole or a neutron star.


What is the difference between a Scchwarzschild and a Kerr black hole?

A Schwarzschild black hole is a non-rotating black hole. The Kerr black hole is a rotating black hole. Since the latter is more complicated to describe, it was developed much later.A Schwarzschild black hole is a non-rotating black hole. The Kerr black hole is a rotating black hole.

What would happen if you jumped into a Kerr black hole?

If you jumped into an "ordinary" Schwarzschild black hole, you would be crushed into a long line of particles, which means death by a black hole. If you jumped into a Kerr black hole, the same process may occur, but the only thing different is that a Kerr black hole spins, and a Schwarzschild black hole does not. That answer needs a bit more detail. Please use the "related link" below.

Can gamma ray pass through black hole?

No. Nothing can pass through a black hole. Once something enters it can never leave.


What gives a black hole its black color?

Nothing that enters a black hole can ever leave, not even light. Since black holes do not emit, reflect, or transmit any light, they are completely black.


How can a black hole be found?

A black hole can be found by finding a patch of space which is completely dark although there should be light there, lie a star or planet. I leave black hole tracking to astronomers and other professionals because I can't keep track of stars. :)

Can the sun leave a black hole when it dies?

No. It is not nearly massive enough. When the sun dies it will leave behind a remnant called a white dwarf.

Does a black hole suck in people?

If you near a black hole, then yes but the chances of getting close to one is very slim unless we somehow find a way to leave our solar system and fly to one.

What are the requirements for a star that can form a black hole?

A star must have a mass several times greater than our Sun's to form a black hole. When the star exhausts its nuclear fuel, it collapses under gravity, leading to a supernova explosion, which can leave behind a black hole if the remnant mass is sufficient.


What does the black hole do to the star?

A black hole originated as a star, that is, the star converted to a black hole.
