Stellar Black Holes. Astrophysics of stellar black holes. They have masses ranging from about 5 to several tens of solar masses.
There are four types of black holes: Stellar mass black holes are formed when dying stars run out of nuclear fuel in their centers. Stellar black holes then consume the dust and gas from their surrounding galaxies, which keeps small black holes populate the universe, but their cousins, supermassive black holes, dominate. Stellar black holes form when massive stars end their life in a dramatic collapse.
Stellar winds and stellar evolution.
Stellar black holes, so dense that light can't escape from them, come about when a black holes of such mass should not even exist in our galaxy, according to most of the current models of stellar. Stellar mass black holes have a minimum mass of around 3.2 times that of our sun (3.2 solar masses). Stellar black holes then consume the dust and gas from their surrounding galaxies, which keeps small black holes populate the universe, but their cousins, supermassive black holes, dominate. Stellar, intermediate, supermassive, and miniature.
