Title: Chapter 15, Part 2: Black Holes


1
Chapter 15, Part 2Black Holes
2
Stellar-Mass Black Hole Death of a Massive Star
3
Supermassive Black Holes In the Centers of most
Galaxies
4
What are Quasars?
Active Galaxies
Quasars get their energy from swallowing up
matter in the accretion disk
5
Quasars look like a star, but must be
enormously luminous because it is 4 billion
light years away!!
6
Primordial or mini-black holes may have formed
in the early universe
7
Intermediate -Mass black holes In the Centers of
Globular Clusters
8
The Geometry of a Black Hole
Nothing can escape the gravity of a black hole
once it is within the event horizon, not even
light!!!
9
Black holes are predicted by Einsteins General
Theory of Relativity (1916) Anything that has
mass curves the space around it!
10
Gravitational Waves Discovered by LIGO (2016)
11
Detecting Black Holes
Black holes can only be seen when it is feeding!
12
Detecting Black Holes
Matter orbiting around a black hole produces
strong X-ray radiation!
13
Detecting Black Holes Monitoring Speeds of Stars
at the Galactic Center
14
Black holes evaporate Hawking Radiation
15
Wormholes
16
Tidal forces near a black hole would stretch and
tear the object apart!
