Black holes trigger stars selfdestruction
Scientists have long understood that supermasvive black holes weighing.Millions or billions of suns can tear apart stars that come too close.The black holegravity pulis harder on the neatest part of the star,an imbalance that,pulls the star apart over a period of minutes or hours,once it gets close enough.
Scientists say this uneven pulling is not the only hazard facing the star.The strain of these unbalanced forces can also trigger a nuclear explosion powerful enough to destroy the star from within:Matthieu Brassart and JeanPierre Luminet of the Observatoire of the Paris in Meudon,France,carried out computer simulations of the final moments of such an unfortunate stars life. as it veered towards a supermassive black hole.
When the star gets Close enough,the uneven forces flatten it into a pancake shape.Some previous studies had suggested this flattening would increase the density and temperature inside the star enough to trigger intense nuclear reactions that would tear it apart.But other studies had suggested that the picture would he complicated by shock waves generated during the flattening process and that not nuclear explosion should occur.
The new simulations investigated the effects of shock waves in detail.and fund that even when their effects are included,the conditions favor a nuclear explosion.There will be an explosion of the star.It will be completely de-
stroyed,Brassart says.Although the explosion obliterates the star,it saves some.of the starts matter from being de
voured by the black hole.The explosion is powerful enough to hurl much of the stars matter out of the black holes
reach,he says.
The devouring of stars by black holes may already have been observed,although at a much later stage.It is
thought that several months after the event that rips the star apart,its matter starts swirling into the hole itself.It heats
up as it does s0,releasing ultraviolet light and Xrays.
If stars disrupted near black holes really do explode,then they could in principle allow these events to be detected
at a much earlier stage.says Jules Halperu of Columbia University in New York,US.It may make it possible to see
the disruption of that star immediately if it gets hot enough.
Brassart aggress.Perhaps it can be observed in the Xrays and gamma rays,but its something that needs to be
more studied,he says.Supernova researcher Chris Fryer of the Los Alamos National Laboratory in Los Almos,New
Mexic0.US,says the deaths of these stars are difficult to simulate,and he is not sure whether the researchers have
proven their case they exploded in the process.
