Interface: BlackHoleInterface ​

Defined in: celestial-bodies/galaxies.ts:23

Represents a black hole at the center of a galaxy.

Black Hole Properties:

  • Mass (mass): Measured in solar masses (M⊙).
  • Schwarzschild radius (radius): Defined in Astronomical Units (AU).
  • Position (x, y): Coordinates relative to the galaxy center in AU.

Example ​

ts
const sagittariusA: BlackHoleInterface = {
  name: 'Sagittarius A*',
  mass: 4.154e6,
  radius: { value: 0.08, unit: 'au' },
  x: { value: 0, unit: 'au' },
  y: { value: 0, unit: 'au' }
};
