Could there be something like a mini black hole in the core of stars that drives the stellar fusion process?

Nope.

Nah. Stars can exist stably up to the Chandrasekhar limit, and any star with a black hole in it will quickly cease to be a star as it falls into the black hole.

no

there are accretion discs around stellar black holes that periodically undergo fusion.

and around supergiant black holes that's basically what a quasar is

Though to be clear, neutron stars can be heavier than that.

but if a micro black hole was in the core then its accretion disk could drive fusion...plus sunspots could be where matter is failing into the core

The modeling and physics and experimental observation that goes into stellar dynamics is so far beyond the thoughts you're having ATM that it's really just a waste of your time. Take a course in stellar astrophysics and you'll gain a lot more from your time investment.

That's because the stars are orbiting the galactic center, not touching the black holes it contains.

I'm sorry to hear that.

A black hole that is physically inside a star is going to consume the star. A black hole doesn't exert any more gravity on things outside it than a star of the same mass, though. If the sun turned into a black hole (somehow, and without a supernova), Earth's orbit would not be affected.

Wait, what? Why?

Doesn't the black hole exert a greater gravitational force?

>> No.4459088

>>4459065
gravitation <> mass

Only if the blacj hole was heavier than the sun (which it must be, but argh... somebody else who actually knows about this should probably answer)

>> No.4459094

I have a question, If blackholes are at the center of a galaxy, why are the stars not getting sucked in it? I know it's not literally a hole but why are the stars not pulled to it outright?

the suns gravity would come from the tolat mass of the sun....the micro black hole would just be a small % of that

and a blackholes entropy is proportional to its horizon area - it wouldnt be able to just suck up the star

>> No.4459103

same reason we don't get pulled into sun

they orbit around it

Stars are orbiting the black holes. Very fast.
