The only way a colossal star that's <320 Ms can last, is if it's not
just another main sequence star, but instead made of something more
durable than hydrogen and helium.
For all we know, it's simply an unusually large neutron star that's
going to last next to forever, with a surface gravity of perhaps <1e15
m/sec. Therefore, what we can see is the photon event horizon that's
a good 1024r to start with. Next stop, it eventually turns into a
black hole and produces serious amounts of gamma. Good thing it's not
headed our way, or pointing either pole towards us when it morphs into
a black hole.
