Abstract: The mystery of how black holes form has generated several theories, including the idea that they are left behind after a supernova -- the explosion of a massive star. Evidence supporting this idea comes from a binary system containing a black hole, in which traces of the supernova are left behind in the atmosphere of the companion star.
