Expert Solution
Introduction:
  • Binary systems are two astronomical bodies that orbit each other around a common center of mass. If one of the stars in a binary system is super massive it could end up becoming a black hole.

 

  • When supermassive stars run out of fuel for fusion they collapse under their own gravity. This gravitational collapse is so large that nothing escapes the collapsed star and a black hole is created.
