A distant supermassive black hole, the mysterious 1ES 1927+654, emits X-ray pulses unlike anything previously recorded, which ...

Sagittarius A* is the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way. As supermassive black holes go, it is fairly ...

It appears this white dwarf is not making a death plunge but rather has stabilized its orbit around the black hole ...

These images show different examples of black holes and accretion disks with various spin configurations: retrograde (black ...

Astronomers have detected a mid-infrared flare from the supermassive black hole at the heart of the Milky Way galaxy for the very first time, and it’s shedding new light on the complex physics driving ...

A black hole infamous for strange features has once again baffled astronomers, this time with rapid X-ray flashes. What could ...

In this artist’s concept, matter is stripped from a white dwarf (sphere at lower right) orbiting within the innermost accretion disk surrounding 1ES 1927+654’s supermassive black hole. Astronomers ...

International teams of astronomers monitoring a supermassive black hole in the heart of a distant galaxy have detected ...

Using the MIRI instrument onboard the James Webb Space Telescope, an international team of scientists made the first-ever ...

Many simulations suggest that flares in Sgr A* are caused by the bunching of magnetic field lines in the supermassive black hole’s turbulent accretion disk. When two magnetic field lines approach they ...

International astronomers have discovered new features in a supermassive black hole in galaxy 1ES 1927+654, located 270 ...
