PBHs are hypothetical black holes that are about as massive as an asteroid and are believed to be left over from the universe’s earliest moments. If a white dwarf accretes material from a companion star, its mass will increase until it reaches the Chandrasekhar limit – about 1.4 solar masses. solar masses can ignite as well.
