What would happen to a star if it took a direct hit from a gamma ray burst?
For example if a gamma ray burst from a supermassive black hole at the center of a galaxy hit a star, would the star survive? If so, how would the grb effect the star? If not, would the star explode?
Obviously this all depends on the proximity of the star to the intensity of the grb beam so I'd also be curious how close/far a star would have to be to survive and be destroyed? If applicable. Thank you
