Astronomers have spotted a supermassive black hole ripping apart and devouring a star in colliding galaxies. It is only the ...

Astronomers have observed with unprecedented precision a massive star in the midst of cosmic feasting. This discovery offers ...

Astronomers find a 200,000 light-year-long black hole jet from early universe, reshaping theories about quasar formation and ...

What lies at the heart of a black hole has puzzled physicists for decades. Now, a team led by physicist Enrico Rinaldi has ...

Specifically, it is a supermassive blackhole that is in the process of waking up. It was first seen in 2019 emitting bursts ...

The data revealed that gas from HW2's accretion disk is collapsing inward at breakneck speed, feeding the star at an ...

Called an accretion disk, this ring of matter around Sagittarius A* spewed everything from brief flickers that only last a few seconds to incredibly bright daily eruptions to even faint flickers ...

Black holes are infamous for being invisible. But thanks to a new technique from the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) team, ...

An accretion disk, as the name implies, is a disk-shaped gas that spirals inwards towards a central black hole. There is a great interest in studying the unique and extreme properties of black holes.

Gas swirls around a black hole (BH) owing to the intense gravity of the BH, forming an accretion disk. These accretion disks, being among the most efficient energy conversion mechanisms in the ...

Known as an accretion disk, it's hot, contains a steady flow of materials like gas or plasma, and flickers constantly. The disks emit light that can be detected using infrared and X-ray ...

While black holes are invisible, the flares unleashed by the swirling disk of hot gas and dust, or accretion disk, that orbits Sagittarius A* resemble a pyrotechnic extravaganza. A study ...
