What is the Mystery Object in the Milky Way? A Neutron Star or a Black Hole?

Описание: In this video, we explore the nature and significance of a new mystery object in the Milky Way that could be either the heaviest neutron star or the lightest black hole ever seen. This object was discovered by astronomers using a radio telescope in South Africa, and it is orbiting a rapidly spinning neutron star or pulsar in a cluster of stars. The mass of the object is between 2.09 and 2.71 solar masses, which is right in the lower mass gap, a range of masses where very few neutron stars or black holes have been detected. This gap is thought to be a result of the different ways that massive stars die and collapse, depending on their initial mass and composition. But the exact mechanism and the boundary between neutron stars and black holes are still unclear and debated. So, what is the mystery object? Is it a very heavy neutron star or a very light black hole? And why does it matter? Watch this video to find out.
