Existence of Black Neutron Star ()
Abstract
A sufficiently
large star will collapse to form a Black Hole Singularity due to Gravitational Pressure
beyond Neutron Degeneracy. A Black Hole exhibits extremely strong Gravitational
attraction that no particle or electromagnetic radiation can escape from it. The
boundary of the region from which no escape is possible is called Event Horizon.
In this work it is proposed that there exists a Neutron star smaller than Event
Horizon, which is termed as Black Neutron Star. Furthermore an alternative method
is proposed to ascertain the maximum permissible mass limit of the Neutron Star
and the minimum mass limit of the naturally occurring gravitationally collapsed
Black hole.
