A team of astronomers have found a pair of supermassive black holes near the center of a newly forming galaxy. The black holes were found hiding in the center of the galaxy merger known as UGC 4211.
The most extreme black hole collision ever recorded looked, at first, like it should not have happened at all. Two objects each weighing roughly as much as one hundred Suns crashed together in a ...
Scientists have begun to unravel the origin story of a cataclysmic collision between two black holes, which seem to have met their fate on a rarely observed "squashed" orbital path. Subscribe to our ...
The eccentricity in the orbits of these black holes, detected using gravitational waves, could tell the story of their creation. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...
When space telescopes blazed with high-energy radiation for hours earlier this year, astronomers suspected that they were witnessing something special. The cosmic flash GRB 250702B was no ...
Researchers studying the aftermath of a gargantuan black hole collision may have confirmed a gravitational phenomenon predicted by Albert Einstein a century ago. According to new research published ...
It's pretty challenging for black holes to smash into each other, but it happens. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. The many black ...
The merger of two equal mass neutron stars is simulated using the 3-D code SNSPH. As the two stars merge, their outer edge ejects a spiral of neutron-rich material. The radioactivity in this ejected ...
