An international collaboration of astrophysicists that includes researchers from Yale has created and tested a detection ...
Supermassive black holes rarely travel alone. Most large galaxies hide one at the center, and when galaxies collide, the two ...
A STAR-DESTROYING black hole is releasing a jet that’s so high-energy it’s one of the “brightest things ever detected in the ...
Scientists have named newly detected merging supermassive black holes after ’Lord of the Rings’ locations, using gravitational wave data and quasar observations to map their mergers.
Researchers propose a new technique to identify supermassive black hole binaries through gravitational lensing causing ...
Supermassive black hole binaries form naturally when galaxies merge, but scientists have only confidently observed a very few of these systems that are widely separated. Black hole binaries that ...
The universe has delivered the loudest gravitational wave ever recorded, and it appears to have given Einstein’s theory of general relativity one of i.
An international collaboration of astrophysicists that includes researchers from Yale has created and tested a detection system that uses gravitational waves to map out the locations of merging black ...
Webb telescope data confirm a supermassive black hole fleeing its galaxy, carving a 200,000 light-year wake of new stars.
For a few brief nights each year, you get a rare chance to watch a monster blink. The Event Horizon Telescope collaboration ...
