New research sheds light on how a pair of unusual black holes may have been able to keep their companion stars alive — and at a distance.

How did supermassive black holes get big so fast? Astrophysicist Souphie Koudmani tells us how she and her colleagues are finding out.

Astronomers know that black hole jets are fueled by material swept up by the cosmic ... in the jet could be understanding how ...

Gas swirling around black holes forms disks that are among the most effective energy converters in the universe, emitting ...

Astronomers have discovered a supermassive black hole at the center of a galaxy just 1.5 billion years after the Big Bang that is consuming matter at a phenomenal rate -- over 40 times the theoretical ...

Researchers have found the hungriest black hole ever detected as it feasts on its host galaxy at a rate 40 times faster than ...

Astronomers have found a black hole in the Cygnus constellation formed without a supernova. This unique system includes a black hole and two stars. The black hole, feeding off a nearby red giant ...

WASHINGTON: The conventional wisdom among astronomers is that black holes - those exceptionally dense objects with gravity so powerful that not even light can escape - form in the violent ...

In particular, the study looks at the high-energy jet of particles being blasted across space by the supermassive black hole at the center ... bands trace different parts of the environment ...

This diagram shows how a shifting feature, called a corona, can create a flare of X-rays around a black hole. The corona (feature represented in purplish colors) gathers inward (left), becoming ...

astronomers recently spotted double the expected amount of supernovae along a massive 3,000-light-year-long jet blasting out of the supermassive black hole at the galaxy’s center. Researchers ...
