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

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 ...

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

New research suggests that galaxies with quasars at their active hearts are seven times more likely to harbor elusive ...

Astronomers from the University of Turku in Finland and elsewhere have performed a broadband spectral and timing study of an ...

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.

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 ...

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.

Small pairs of binary black holes could be used to play hide-and-seek' with elusive supermassive black hole binaries via gravitational waves carry the "baritone singing" of these cosmic titans.
