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

How much does a black hole change in a year? Scientists may now have an idea, after taking a fresh look at the first-ever black hole to be imaged — the supermassive black hole M87*, , which ...

7, 2024 — Researchers conducted innovative simulations of spinning black holes grounded in general relativity, which clarified that the ultraluminous accretion disk (i.e., gaseous spiral ...

That is what astronomers discovered when assessing turbulence in the stream of matter, or "accretion flow," feeding the supermassive black hole located 55 million light-years from Earth at the ...

Measuring that region is important since knowing the black hole's mass and its accretion disk's structure provides data that allows them to measure the spin rate. Astronomers typically estimate ...

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 ...
