Scientists used changes in the supermassive black hole M87*'s accretion disk to infer its orientation, size and turbulence ...

The 2018 observations confirmed the luminous ring seen in 2017, with a diameter of about 43 microarcseconds, matching theoretical predictions for the shadow of a 6.5 billion solar-mass black hole. The ...

The new observations, taken with the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT), provide the most detailed, real-time look yet ... computer models of the black hole's accretion disk. They noticed that the ...

Strange x-ray pulses hint at a surprisingly long-lived white dwarf orbiting precariously close to a supermassive black hole ...

The interferometer team, led by Steve Ertel, associate astronomer of Steward Observatory, observed several phenomena ...

Observations from 2017 and 2018 by the Event Horizon Telescope have enhanced understanding of the supermassive black hole M87*, focusing on its turbulent accretion flow.

Using observations from 2017 and 2018, the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) Collaboration has advanced our understanding of the supermassive black hole at the centre of Messier 87 (M87*). This study ...

When matter is fed to a black hole from the flattened cloud of matter around it called an accretion disk, that matter can spiral inwards in the direction that the black hole spins in — or ...

(Contributed image using NASA illustrations) At the center of a black hole, there is an accretion disc where matter collects as it falls into the black hole ... Learn more here We endeavour to provide ...
