Calculated: 200 tons of TNT equivalent × 4.2J/ton of TNT equivalent = 8.4JThis value appears to be referred only to the third explosion on 27 August, 10.02 a.m.

GRB 080916C – formerly the most powerful gamma-ray burst (GRB) ever recorded – total/trueIt is important to specify that the energetic reduction for beaming (invoked to explain so much energetics and jet breaks) is expected in the "Fireball model", which is the traditional one; other main models explain both Long and Short GRBs with binary systems, such as "Induced Gravitational Collapse", "Binary-Driven Hypernovae" which refer to the "Fireshell" one, in which cases the beaming isn't assumpted and the isotropic energy is a real value of energy due to the rotational energy of the stellar black hole and vacuum polarization in an electromagnetic field, which are able to explain energetics up and over 1047 J isotropic energy output estimated at 8.8 × 1047 joules (8.8 × 1054 erg), or 4.9 times the Sun's mass turned to energy

Approximate energy released in the most energetic black hole merging to date (GW190521), which originated the first intermediate-mass black hole ever detectedAssuming the uncertainties about the masses of the objects, the values of the LIGO Data are taken in consideration; so we have a newborn black hole with about 142 solar masses and the conversion in gravitational waves of about 7 solar massesA research claims that this is instead a merging with approximately 8 times more probability than the black hole case; if so, the existence and the collision of boson stars there would be confirmed together. Furthermore, the energy released and the distance would be reduced.[6]
