An artist's concept of a tidal disruption event (TDE), which happens when a star passes close to a supermassive black hole. The gravity of the black hole pulls material from the star and launches a ...

A comprehensive set of simulations by Flatiron Institute astrophysicists and their colleagues revealed that magnetic fields are responsible for creating black holes with masses in a range previously ...

A scientist from Tokyo Metropolitan University has solved the longstanding problem of a "dissonance" in gravitational waves emitted by a black hole. Using high precision computing and a new ...

An international team from China and Italy has reported a possible cosmic encore to the landmark 2017 multi-messenger ...

Scientists have traced the origins of the most massive black hole merger ever observed, revealing how two "impossible" giants may have formed despite long-standing assumptions that such objects should ...

Earlier this year, researchers reported the most massive black hole merger ever detected. But the event was so unusual that questions around its origin sowed confusion within the astrophysics ...
