I don't know of any specific term used to refer to a black hole explosion.

Note: The concept of an exploding black hole is still hypothetical. In 1974, Stephen Hawking realized that, owing to quantum effects, black holes should emit particles with a thermal distribution of energies - as if the black hole had a temperature inversely proportional to its mass. In addition to putting black-hole thermodynamics on a firmer footing, this discovery led Hawking to postulate 'black hole explosions', as primordial black holes end their lives in an accelerating release of energy. However, these explosion merely describe a marked increase (or burst of energy) in the emission of Hawking radiation; and the speed of such evaporation is still very theoretical.

The final stage of the evaporation for a black hole has been described to proceed so rapidly that it would end in a tremendous explosion. How powerful this explosion would be depends on how many different species of elementary particles there are. If, as is now widely believed, all particles are made up of perhaps six different kinds of quarks, the final explosion would have an energy equivalent to about 10 million one-megaton hydrogen bombs.

On the other hand, an alternative theory of elementary particles put forward by R. Hagedorn of the European Organization for Nuclear Research argues that there is an infinite number of elementary particles of higher and higher mass. As a black hole got smaller and hotter, it would emit a larger and larger number of different species of particles and would produce an explosion perhaps 100,000 times more powerful than the one calculated on the quark hypothesis. Hence the observation of a blackhole explosion would provide very important information on elementary particle physics, information that might not be available any other way.

The explosion of a black hole is called a supernova or a gamma-ray burst, depending on the size of the black hole and the surrounding conditions.

I don't think there is a special name for that.

What forms a black hole?

When a massive star dies, gravity forces it to fall in on itself, and the result is a gigantic explosion called a hypernova. The leftover of a hypernova is a black hole.


When something goes in a black hole does it come back out?

Yes, but as a string of atoms erupting from the black hole like an explosion. Other than that, it is very unclear what happens inside a black hole.

If the core of a supernova explosion contains three or more solar masses of matter the core will most likely become a what?

If the core of a supernova explosion contains three or more solar masses of matter, it will most likely become a black hole. The gravitational force is so strong that the core collapses into a singularity, forming a black hole.


Can an exploding star create a black hole?

Yes, a star Super Novas when it dies and sometimes the explosion is so vast, it creates a fissure that becomes a black hole.


Adjective or adverb a black hole is the remains of a supermassive star after a supernova?

Adverb: "A black hole forms when a supermassive star collapses after a supernova explosion."


What would happen if a black hole sucks up beetle juice and blew up?

I'm not sure, though I hypothesize that the explosion would be contained in the gravity of the black hole.


What is made after a supernova?

After a Supernova explosion, a Black Hole is created. Thats right.... Stars make black holes! Here is the life cycle of stars! Not the real one, just... when it turns into a black hole. Gases in space> Bigger gasses in space> A pretty star> Still a normal star> Old dwarf star> SUPERNOVA EXPLOSION> Giant Black Hole! Tada!


What is it called when a black hole explodes?

When a black hole explodes, it is referred to as a "black hole supernova" or a "black hole hypernova." This rare event occurs when a black hole absorbs too much matter and energy, leading to a powerful explosion.


Can a black hole stop a supernova?

A black hole is often the RESULT of a supernova explosion. When a massive star dies, the star explodes. The core of the star is crushed, while the outer layers of the star are blown away into space. This explosion is a nova or supernova. The early astronomers, seeing a burst of light where no star had ever been seen before, called them "nova stellarum", or "new star". When the core of the star is crushed by the explosion, the result is a neutron star or a black hole, depending on how densely the core is collapsed.


Explosion of a supernova leave behind?

The explosion of a supernova leaves behind either a neutron star or a black hole, depending on the mass of the original star. Neutron stars are extremely dense, composed mostly of neutrons, while black holes are regions of space with a gravitational pull so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape from them.
