But scientists infer that there is probably another kind of star between neutron stars and black holes, that is, quark busters. The mass of this quasar is larger than the largest neutron star, but smaller than the minimum order of magnitude of the black hole formed by the star. It is generally believed that its mass is between 2.5 and 3 times that of the sun. The composition of truant stars is similar to that of neutron stars, but it is different in essence, because neutron stars are like a nucleus, electrons have been compressed into protons and neutrons by huge systolic blood pressure, and countless neutrons gather together to form neutron stars; But the systolic blood pressure of Kwakexing is higher than that of neutron star, which presses countless neutrons together, making the whole star a neutron, so Kwakexing is like a giant neutron.
But so far, scientists have not exactly seen the existence of quark-busters in the universe. Recently, however, the media reported that in a new study conducted by the Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory (LIGO) of the National Science Foundation of the United States and the Virgo detector in Europe, scientists discovered an object with a mass 2.6 times that of the sun, and the mass value of this object is just between the upper mass limit of a neutron star and the lower mass limit of a star-level black hole, so scientists believe that this star is probably a quark buster (the other two may be the largest, largest and smallest).
This celestial body belongs to a binary system, but this binary system is invisible to the naked eye, and the bigger one is a black hole with a mass 23 times that of the sun. It is believed that Kwakexing's celestial body is probably orbiting this black hole, and scientists believe that it is in the process of being swallowed up by the black hole.
These two celestial bodies are difficult to find with optical telescopes because they are very far away, about 800 million light years away from the earth. Scientists can find them through gravitational wave technology. They were first discovered in August 19. When two celestial bodies meet at close range, LIGO and Virgo on the earth can detect gravitational waves. Their merger event is called GW 65438.
