Overview

Stellar black holes are incredibly dense objects with such strong gravity that not even light can escape. The event horizons of stellar black holes can be measured in kilometers. Stellar black holes can be spinning, which affects their behavior, and the spin of a stellar black hole can cause it to emit intense radiation. The Chandra X-ray Observatory and the Fermi Gamma-Ray Space Telescope have detected X-rays and gamma rays from stellar black holes. The study of stellar black holes is crucial for understanding the universe.
