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 ...

Unprecedented features at brink of active black hole.

The matter swirling around the black hole glows, and is called an accretion disk. Occasionally, matter falls into the gaping maw of the black hole, causing a brilliant flash of light—this is how ...

Researchers, such as Roberto Maiolino from the Kavli Institute for Cosmology, estimate that these "super-accretion" episodes could last between 5 and 10 million years. For the majority of the time, ...

Black holes cannot be directly observed, but instead they are detected by the tell-tale glow of a swirling accretion disc, which forms near the black hole's edges. The gas in the accretion disc ...

They’re visible when accreting because the accretion disk heats up and emits light. This one was only spotted because it’s so massive. “Even though this black hole is dormant, its enormous ...

These jets shoot out from the direct vicinity of the black hole in two opposite directions, sustained and guided by magnetic fields in the "accretion disk" of material: the disk formed by gas ...

When they are surrounded by matter in a flattened cloud called an accretion disk that gradually feeds them, the gravitational influence of supermassive black holes causes immense friction ...

Black holes cannot be directly observed, but instead they are detected by the tell-tale glow of a swirling accretion disk, which forms near the black hole's edges. The gas in the accretion disk ...

The centers, or nuclei, of these distant galaxies can become active as dust and gas are drawn toward the nucleus under the black hole's gravitational pull. They don't fall in immediately because they ...

Typically, black holes are detected by a tell-tale glow of a swirling accretion disc. This disc forms near the black hole’s edges and the gas in the accretion disc becomes extremely hot.
