Direct Collapse Black Hole

Did you know?

"Instead, the cloud gravitationally collapse without cooling, ultimately concentrating such a huge amount of mass into a small volume of space that it forms what Natarajan calls "a direct-collapse black hole," or DCBH. This process bypasses the formation of traditional stars, although it could form a very short-lived supermassive star."
