24 paź 2024 · Astronomers have recently unveiled a stunning cosmic discovery—a triple black hole system within V404 Cygni, a unique configuration that sheds new light on how these cosmic giants form and evolve. Located about 8,000 light-years from Earth, this discovery isn't just another addition to the black hole catalog; it challenges our understanding ...
23 paź 2024 · Researchers at MIT and elsewhere have discovered a “black-hole triple, the first known instance of a three-body system that includes a black hole, which is not supposed to be part of the mix,” reports Dennis Overbye for The New York Times. The researchers propose that the black hole “could have resulted from a sort of immaculate ...
23 paź 2024 · The new system holds a central black hole in the act of consuming a small star that’s spiraling in very close to the black hole, every 6.5 days — a configuration similar to most binary...
4 dni temu · A new study created thousands of simulations to discern how this black hole formed, and discovered that “direct collapse”—where a black hole forms without a supernova—is the most likely ...
25 paź 2024 · Researchers spotted a second distant star orbiting a well-known black hole and its stellar companion in a never-before-seen gravitational triad.
23 paź 2024 · Analysis of the black hole low-mass X-ray binary V404 Cygni shows that it is part of a wide hierarchical triple whose configuration provides evidence that some black holes form with nearly...
24 paź 2024 · The first triple system, described in a paper published in Nature, includes a black hole named V404 Cygni which was discovered in 1992. V404 Cygni is about 8,000 light-years from Earth and is one...
