An artist’s impression shows a triple star system called V404 Cygni with a black hole and two ordinary stars. Material siphoned from the deformed nearby star (left) is pictured swirling around the black hole (right), as the third star (top right) shines in the distance. Astronomers traditionally believe black holes form when massive stars explode…
BENGALURU: India’s AstroSat, Nasa’s space observatories, and other international telescopes have captured a dramatic cosmic event involving a massive black hole and stellar wreckage. The discovery provides valuable insights into two previously mysterious phenomena: tidal disruption events (TDEs) and quasi-periodic eruptions (QPEs).“A massive black hole has torn apart one star and is using that stellar…
Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have confirmed that supermassive black holes have the ability to deprive their host galaxies of the gas and dust needed for star formation.This groundbreaking discovery was made by an international team of researchers, co-led by the University of Cambridge, and marks a significant advancement in understanding the complex…
