- An object was discovered on Feb. 24.37 UT (position R.A. = 5h35m.8, Decl. = -69 18'), obtained m = 4.8 on Feb. 24.454 UT. This object proved to be the most famous supernova (SN) in the 20th Century and the brightest visible from Earth since 1604. It is classified as a SN of the type Il in the Large Magellanic Cloud (SN1987A). Its brightness peaked in May 1987, with an apparent magnitude of m = 2.8. a) Find the absolute magnitude M of the SN1987A at maximum. Distance of the LMC is 51,400 pc. b) The progenitor (before SN explosion) star was a blue supergiant of the apparent magnitude m = 12.8. How much brighter (in terms of flux density) this SN was at maximum compared to the progenitor star. Find the ratio FSN/ EbetoreYou discover by dropping particles into it that the Event Horizon (Schwartzschild Radius) of a black hole is 171 km. How massive is it? (enter just the number in solar masses)I'm stumped on this question: A clump of matter does not need to be extraordinarily dense in order to have an escape velocity greater than the speed of light, as long as its mass is large enough. You can use the formula for the Schwarzschild radius RS to calculate the volume, 4/3 πRS^3, inside the event horizon of a black hole of mass M. What does the mass of a black hole need to be in order for its mass divided by its volume to be equal to the density of water (1g/cm^3)? I'm not sure where to begin in findng the answer. It feels as if I'm missing information.
- Assume a neutron star has a mass of about 1.2 times the mass of the Sun and a radius of 7 kilometers. If the escape speed is V2esc=2GM/R, work out the formula for the radius of the Event Horizon around a Black Hole of mass M.Calculate the Schwarzschild radius of the Sun.I understand that to an outside observer, the light from a star that is collapsing into a black hole will become more and more red-shifted as the surface of the star appears to approach the black hole event horizon. The outside observer will never actually see the surface of the star cross the black hole event horizon. This applies to all outside observers: at infinity, in orbit around the star/black hole or those using a rocket to hover above the black hole. Conversely, I know that for someone on the surface of the star that is collapsing to form a black hole it will appear quite different. The observer on the surface will not see anything unusual happen as they cross the event horizon and in a finite time they will reach the singularity at the center of the black hole where we do not know what will happen since general relativity breaks down in a singularity. So, now consider an observer that starts at a great distance from the star who is continually falling directly into the star…
- Imagine you are in an indestructible spaceship orbiting a black hole and you decide to launch a probe into the black hole. Explain how time would pass differently for you and the probe as it is pulled into the black hole. Also, explain what the onboard camera would observe as it passed the photon sphere and the event horizon.As a mass m of gas falls into a black hole, at most 0.1mc2 is likely to emerge as radiation; the rest is swallowed by the black hole. Show the Eddington luminosity for a black hole of mass M is equivalent to 2*10-9 Mc2yr-1. Explain why we expect the black hole's mass to grow by at least a factor of e every 5*107 years. Where Edding Luminicity is defined as LE=(4piGMmpc)/(sigmaT), where G is the gravitational constant, M is the mass of the black hole, mp is the mass of a proton, c is the speed of light, and sigmaT is Thomson scattering where sigmaT=6.653*10-25 cm2.Five astronauts (A - E) are watching a star collapse to form a black hole. Which of the flight plans require that the astronaut travel faster than light? A COLLAPSING STAR THAT FORMS BLACK HOLE r=0 Singularity Time Inside of Star At B D Rs Radius of a Star E
- Which of the following statements best describes the behaviour of an object falling towards the Event Horizon of a Black Hole (according to an observer a long way from it)? As gravity increases the falling object will not suffer any change in appearence or the progression of time. As gravity increases the object's light will be compressed, leading to it looking bluer, with time appearing to passing more slowly for it. The falling object will appear to experience an increase in the rate of time, and it's colour will appear evermore red. As the falling object experiences ever stronger gravity, it will become redder and time will appear to pass more slowly for it.True or false The escape speed from a black hole would be greater than the speed of light. If the impact time of a collision is increased, the force of impact will decrease. A size of a Kelvin degree (oK) is larger than a Celsius degree (oC).The area of the event Horizon of a black hole is 4tRg². Use the Schwarzschild metric to verify this.
