Very massive stars are cosmic "rock stars" that live fast, die young and leave black holes in their place. During this ...

Gravitational waves stretch and squeeze the fabric of space and time itself. When space/time is squeezed, pulsar pulses ...

If a binary black hole system caused the 2.2-year periodic variation in PG 1553+153, then we should also be able to see a longer pattern of variation, about every 10 to 20 years, when the clumps ...

Binary neutron star mergers, cosmic collisions between two very dense stellar remnants made up predominantly of neutrons, have been the topic of numerous astrophysics studies due to their fascinating ...

When binary neutron stars or black holes swirl around each other, they constantly emit gravitational waves, which carry energy away from the system in the form of angular momentum.

The binary black holes are the closest together ever observed in multiple wavelengths. ALMA (ESO/NAOJ/NRAO); M. Weiss (NRAO/AUI/NSF) These are hungry black holes as well, as both members of the ...

Astronomers working with the European Southern Observatory's (ESO) Very Large Telescope (VLT) have detected patterns showing ...

Binary star system found near the Milky Way's black hole: An 'amazing' discovery, astrophysicists say. The discovery could lead to the finding of more planets.

Researchers find binary stars orbiting near Milky Way's supermassive black hole “Black holes are not as destructive as we thought,” the study's lead author said.

That hope comes after researchers found the first ever binary star near a supermassive black hole. That black hole happens to be Sagittarius A*, the one at the middle of the Milky Way.

Binary black holes, systems consisting of two black holes in close orbit around each other, synchronize their spins before they merge together, according to new research.. The moment creates a ...
