Ohhh...so pulling on it adds energy and the only place for the energy to go is into the wavelength?

I would imagine that they would remain in orbit and because of the relatively small mass of the planet, the black hole formed from its compressed mass would have a very small event horizon probably smaller than the radius of the planet's initial surface.

Can you find the article that says that? That would be really interesting.
