Findings by the Center for Computational Relativity and Gravitation published in Nature Astronomy. For the first time, scientists believe they have detected a merger of…
New research suggests alternative explanations for the massive compact object at the center of the galaxy M87 questioning if this could contain gravitomagnetic monopole. The…
With a new computational approach, SISSA researchers have been able to make the fascinating calculation. Moreover, according to their work, around 1% of the overall…
The discovery of a supermassive black hole in a relatively small galaxy could help astronomers unravel the mystery surrounding how the very biggest black holes…
An international team of researchers, led by postgraduate student Alexis Andrés, has found that the black hole at the center of our galaxy, Sagittarius A*,…
A multinational team of astronomers, including scientists from the University of Birmingham’s Institute for Gravity Wave Astronomy, has reported the findings of a comprehensive search…
Scientists have found four enormous cavities, or bubbles, at the center of a galaxy cluster using NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory. This unusual set of features…
Astronomers have discovered a supermassive black hole in the dwarf galaxy Mrk 462 with NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory. The percentage of these galaxies that have…
Testing a new, direct method for determining the masses of supermassive black holes. Astronomers of the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy have, for the first…
Upending textbook explanations, astrophysicists from the University of Miami, Yale University, and the European Space Agency suggest that primordial black holes account for all dark…
The largest catalog of gravitational wave events ever assembled has been released by an international collaboration that includes Penn State researchers. Gravitational waves are ripples…
Four cavities in the hot gas of a single galaxy cluster have been found. Astronomers found this quartet of X-ray cavities in the cluster located…
Astronomers have produced the most comprehensive image of radio emission from the nearest actively feeding supermassive black hole to Earth. The emission is powered by…
Did black holes form immediately after the Big Bang? How did supermassive black holes form? What is dark matter? In an alternative model for how…
The discovery, based on an unusual event dubbed “The Cow,” may offer astronomers a new way to spot infant compact objects. In June of 2018,…
The European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope Interferometer (ESO’s VLTI) has obtained the deepest and sharpest images to date of the region around the supermassive…
The first evidence of the existence of black holes was found in the 1960s, when strong X-rays were detected from a system called Cygnus X-1….
