SUMMARY

A rotating star with sufficient mass can form a black hole characterized by a ring singularity, as opposed to a point singularity. This phenomenon occurs due to the angular momentum of the star, which influences the structure of the resulting black hole. The concept is well-documented in astrophysical literature and is further explained in resources like the Wikipedia article on black holes.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of general relativity
  • Familiarity with black hole physics
  • Knowledge of angular momentum in astrophysics
  • Basic concepts of singularities
NEXT STEPS
  • Read the Wikipedia article on black holes for foundational knowledge
  • Explore the implications of angular momentum on black hole formation
  • Investigate the differences between ring singularities and point singularities
  • Study the mathematical models used in general relativity to describe black holes
USEFUL FOR

Astronomy students, astrophysicists, and anyone interested in the mechanics of black hole formation and the nature of singularities.

If a star with enough mass to become a black hole is rotating before it becomes a black hole, then the singularity of the black hole will actually be a ring singularity. How is it possible?

Have you looked at the explanation in the Wikipedia article?
