Abstract

The hypothesis of a white hole actively ejecting all matter and energy through a wormhole was first substantiated by I. Novikov. Let us consider the applicability of the white hole concept to non-relativistic hot stars. For neutral atoms, the star's gravity is insurmountable. In the atmosphere of a hot star containing ionized atoms, a significant difference in the thermal velocity of electrons and ions leads to charge separation and the formation of a Coulomb accelerator. This accelerator forms a continuous flow of positive ions from the star, overcoming gravity. The presence of an accelerator and an ion flow from the star, significantly exceeding the gravitational limit, allows us to consider a new class of objects - a "Coulomb white hole". The observable sign of a Coulomb white hole will be the presence of a high-speed ion flow from the star, exceeding the gravitational limit.
