Loading contentThe compact objects in the graph — black holes (Sgr A*, M87*, Cygnus X-1, V404 Cygni) and neutron stars (the Crab, Vela, first and most-massive pulsars). The physics of these end-states of gravity — the ergosphere, photon sphere, ISCO, jets, neutron degeneracy, the pulsar mechanism and the equation of state — is modelled alongside as reused cosmology, stellar-physics and object-class concepts. Only well-established astrophysics; nothing fabricated.
