In a historic first, astronomers have simultaneously imaged the shadow and jet of the supermassive black hole in galaxy M87, providing new insights into how…
Physicists have demonstrated that black holes and the dense state of gluons, which are the “glue” particles responsible for holding nuclear matter together, have similar…
Scientists have unlocked one of the biggest mysteries of quasars – the brightest, most powerful objects in the Universe – by discovering that they are…
Johns Hopkins researchers have discovered a hypothetical celestial object, called a topological soliton, which mimics a black hole but emits weak light rays. It looks…
Astronomers used machine learning to improve the Event Horizon Telescope’s first black hole image, aiding in black hole behavior understanding and testing gravitational theories. The…
Machine learning reconstructs new image from EHT data. The image of the M87 black hole has been enhanced using a machine learning technique called PRIMO,…
Astronomers discovered the first evidence of giant black holes in colliding dwarf galaxies, offering important insights into early universe galaxy formation and black hole growth….
A Bizarre 200,000-Light-Year-Long Bridge Links a Galaxy to Its Escaping Black Hole The universe is so capricious that even the slightest things that might go…
Researchers discovered an unusual gas cloud called the “Tadpole” potentially orbiting a massive black hole 100,000 times the mass of the Sun, and plan to…
Taking advantage of a phenomenon called gravitational lensing, a team of astronomers has discovered one of the biggest black holes ever found. Light-bending gravity The…
The ASTRID cosmological simulation, a massive simulation run on TACC’s Frontera supercomputer, is aiding in the investigation of ultra-massive black holes. Ultra-massive black holes are…
A group of physicists has developed a model that charts the unexpected orbit of a star around a supermassive black hole, uncovering new insights into…
NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory helped identify two pairs of dwarf galaxies on track to merge. Dwarf galaxies, which are at least about 20 times less…
Recent simulations of two black holes colliding at close to the speed of light have shed light on the enigmatic physics behind what has been…
A new analysis has revealed the presence of “nonlinear” effects contained in gravitational waves. When two black holes merge to form a larger black hole,…
A team of international researchers led by Dr. Florian Peißker at the Institute of Astrophysics at the University of Cologne has discovered a newly forming…
Gemini North Telescope on Hawaii reveals first dormant, stellar-mass black hole. Astronomers have discovered the closest black hole to Earth, the first unambiguous detection of…
A research paper uses new methods to analyze the waves that black holes emit when they collide. In 2015, scientists for the first time detected…
