Quasi-star

A quasi-star (also called black hole star) is a hypothetical type of extremely massive and luminous star that may have existed early in the history of the Universe. Unlike modern stars, which are powered by nuclear fusion in their cores, a quasi-star's energy would come from material falling into a black hole at its core.

"Black hole star" redirects here. For black holes created from stars, see Stellar black hole. For stars that become black holes, see Supernova. For stars with black hole cores, see Hawking star. For types of stars denser than neutron stars, see Exotic star. For the 1994 Soundgarden song, see Black Hole Sun.
Not to be confused with a quasi-stellar object or quasar.
