An international team from China and Italy has reported a possible cosmic encore to the landmark 2017 multi-messenger ...
These provide statistical insights into the collisions between the incredibly compact objects that cause them, whether neutron stars or black holes. The new detections have also allowed us to find ...
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 ...
Recent advancements in observational techniques have led to the capture of high-resolution images of black hole shadows, which are challenging the completeness of Einstein’s general theory of ...
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 fresh analysis of gravitational wave data from a 2020 collision between a black hole and a neutron star has produced the first measured evidence of an eccentric, oval-shaped orbit in this type of ...
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 ...

Ripples in the fabric of space-time called gravitational waves may be the key to solving the Hubble tension — one of the biggest nagging problems in physics.
A new study from Johns Hopkins University suggests that supermassive black holes—those cosmic behemoths lurking at the centers of galaxies—might already be generating the kinds of high-energy particle ...
Tokyo, Japan – 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 ...
