Formation and evolution of black holes in the galaxy : selected papers with commentary /
"In published papers H.A. Bethe and G.E. Brown worked out the collapse of large stars and supernova explosions. They went on to evolve binaries of compact stars, finding that in the standard scenario the first formed neutron star always went into a black hole in common envelope evolution. C.-H....
