But astronomers said finding this new system – comprising a black hole named V404 Cygni and two stars – is “super exciting” ...

This remarkable system, centered around V404 Cygni, consists of a black hole actively feeding on a companion star, while being orbited by a more distant third star. The discovery has raised ...

The team now believes that contrary to being born following a violent explosion of a dying star (a supernova), V404 Cygni was formed through a more gentle process some four billion years ago.

But in a new study, published Wednesday (Oct. 23) in the journal Nature, researchers discovered that one of these known binary systems, which contains the black hole V404 Cygni feasting on a ...

Cochran and A. Hatzes, and G. Marcy and R. P. Butler 16 Cygni B has two stellar companions: 16 Cygni A at a distance of ~900 AU, and 16 Cygni C at an angular separation of ~70 arc seconds ...

Out of curiosity, Burdge reviewed an image of V404 Cygni -- a black hole about 8,000 light years from Earth that was one of the very first objects ever to be confirmed as a black hole, in 1992.

ABSTRACT The high orbital eccentricity of the planet around 16 Cygni B may have been induced by the companion star, 16 Cygni A, but only if the stellar binary has sufficiently small periastron ...

"Overall, it's not surprising that black holes should be in triples, but what's surprising is that this system held onto the outer star after forming the black hole." Astronomers have discovered ...
