A Thorne–Żytkow object (TŻO or TZO), also known as a hybrid star, is a conjectured type of star wherein a red giant or red supergiant contains a neutron star at its core, formed from the collision of the giant with the neutron star.

2014年5月30日 · Thorne-Zytkow objects (TZOs) are a theoretical class of star in which a compact neutron star is surrounded by a large, diffuse envelope. Supergiant TZOs are predicted to be almost identical in appearance to red supergiants (RSGs).

2014年10月9日 · An image showing the location of the first suspected Thorne-Zytkow object (TZO), a long-theorized hybrid star thought to form when a red supergiant swallows a neutron star. This likely TZO,...

2020年7月2日 · A Thorne-Żytkow object is a theoretical type of hybrid star created when a dense neutron star is swallowed by a puffy red supergiant star, as seen in this artist’s concept.

A Thorne Zytkow object (TZO) is defined as a star system containing two members: Red supergiant/Giant; Neutron Star; When a neutron star is present inside a red supergiant as its core, the resulting combination is termed as a TZO. These types of stars originally are binary systems but their interactions result in the formation of a TZO.

2014年6月9日 · Thorne-Zytkow objects (TZOs) are hybrids of red supergiant and neutron stars that superficially resemble normal red supergiants, such as Betelguese in the constellation Orion. They differ,...

Thorne-Zytkow objects (T_ ZOs) are a class of stellar object comprised of a neutron star core_ surrounded by a large and di use envelope. Their exterior appearance is identical to red supergiants;

Thorne-Zytkow objects (T˙ ZOs) are a theoretical class of star in which a compact neutro˙ n star is surrounded by a large, diffuse envelope. Supergiant TZOs are predicted to be almost˙

2014年6月6日 · These so-called Thorne-Zytkow objects (TZOs) likely form when a red supergiant gobbles up a nearby neutron star, which sinks down into the giant's core, researchers said. TZOs look like ordinary...

In this talk, I will describe how this discovery came about, including the decades of work that laid the foundations for our work. I will also review the status of the star today: is it, or isn't it, a TZO? Levesque et al (2014, MNRAS, 443, 94) described the evidence that we had likely found the first identified Thorne-Zytkow object, HV 2112.
