Much smaller ones may have little more than three or four solar masses.

And you know that it takes a body of at least five solar masses.

If this is the case then how does a star of many solar masses ever develop?

Its mass is estimated to be at least 10 Solar masses.

They have been estimated to amount for about 20 solar masses each.

It has a mass of approximately 3 billion solar masses.

The red giant is estimated to have started its life with about 7-8 solar masses.

The star currently has a mass loss rate of a few times 10 solar masses per year.

Modern estimates range from approximately 1.5 to 3.0 solar masses.

Its mass has been estimated to lie between 1.5 and 5 million solar masses.

It is notable for having a black hole around a million solar masses at its centre.

There's supposed to be a huge black hole in there, millions of solar masses.

It is expanding approximately at a rate of about 60 solar masses per year.

At around 1.3 solar masses, it will have a shorter lifetime than the Sun.

A collapsar can't even form at less than around five solar masses.

The stages of the process are well defined in stars with masses around one solar mass or less.

He claims that 150 solar masses is the upper limit for stars.

The luminous matter makes up approximately 9 x 10 solar masses.

The extended envelope contains at least 1.4 solar masses of material.

Stars that begin with more than 50 solar masses can lose over half their total mass while they remain on the main sequence.

The total mass contained in the cluster is estimated to be about 800 solar masses.

The transition in primary energy production from one form to the other spans a range difference of less than a single solar mass.

Later authors extended the work below one solar mass.

This leads to a limiting mass of approximately 0.7 solar masses.

The estimated mass of the cluster is 500 trillion solar masses.
