a predicted range of black hole masses, roughly 50 to 130 solar masses, that stellar collapse cannot produce because pair instability disrupts or strips the progenitors.

In astrophysics, pair-instability mass gap refers to a predicted range of black hole masses, roughly 50 to 130 solar masses, that stellar collapse cannot produce because pair instability disrupts or strips the progenitors. This meaning comes from Farmer (2019) in The Astrophysical Journal.[1]
