We use a gaseous model and a semi-analytical approach to study the evolution of a super-massive central gaseous object (a super-massive star, (SMS from now on) in an AGN and its evolution by interactions with the surrounding stellar system.…

The concept of central super-massive stars (${\cal M} \ge 5 \times 10^4 M_{\odot}$, where ${\cal M}$ is the mass of the super-massive star) embedded in dense stellar systems was suggested as a possible explanation for high- energy emissions…

If the cores of Galaxies and AGNs comprise Supermassive Stars (SMSs) (Hoyle and Fowler 1963), nuclear energy generation may not be ignited for masses $M > 6\times 10^4 M_\odot$, and highly supermassive stars are likely to generate their…

Supermassive stars (SMS) are massive hydrogen objects, slowly radiating their gravitational binding energy. Such hypothetical primordial objects may have been the seed of the massive black holes (BHs) observed at the centre of galaxies.…
