Hypernovae and Black
Holes
End of Life?
or
Beginning of New Life?

Final Conclusion will be
Believe or Not
• We have seen 15 black hole binaries in our Galaxy.
• We have seen evidences of Hypernovae explosions
in black hole binaries
• Ironically, Black Holes are the sources of the most
energetic explosions in the Universe after Big Bang
Compact Stars
• White Dwarf [M < 1.4 Msun; R=1000 km]
• Neutron Star [M < 3 Msun; R < 15 km]
• Black Holes
Density of Neutron Star

What is Theoretical Black Hole?
Einstein’s General Relativity
Sun : r = 3 km
Earch : r = 9 mm
Light cannot escape !
Total Nonsense !?
Soueces of Strong X-ray in the Universe
Radiation from accreting material
Theoretical Candidates
• Neutron Stars [M < 3 MSun; R <15 km]
• Black Holes
•……
Now Scientists believe that black hole exists !
X-ray Observations
•First Observation 1962
•First X-ray Satellite
Uhuru (Dec. 1970)
•..
•Current Missions
Chandra (NASA)
XMM-Newton (Europe)
•Future
Xeus (ESA),
Constellation-X(NASA), etc
Chandra (NASA)
What is black hole in real observation ?
• Strong
souce of X-ray emission
• X-ray emission region is very small
• No stable star exists with given mass & size
Beyond Neutron Star
We call it a Black Hole !

Rotating black hole is not so greedy!
Falling material can survive!

Hypernovae in BH X-ray Binaries
We have seen it twice.
So, it happens Everywhere ?

Final Conclusion
• We have seen 15 black hole binaries in our Galaxy.
• We have seen evidences of hypernovae.
Ironically, Black Holes are the sources of the
most energetic explosions in the Universe
after Big Bang
If you believe, you will see the BHs !
Blessed are those who believe !
Why am I doing this ?
It’s a lot of fun !
Thanks for your attendance !
