Scientific paper

We present a semi-classical argument to show how the entropy of a compact stellar object can smoothly approach its maximum value (that appropriate for a black hole of the same mass) as the star is compressed to form an event horizon. To have a smooth transition, the entropy must be a continuous function of the stellar radius. We show that a continuous description can be derived by considering the wave function of the star to be a quantum mechanical superposition of both classical and black hole states. .
