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 ...

Black holes aren't alive, but it turns out that they can have a heartbeat — if they're consuming enormous amounts of gas. And ...

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.

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.

AT 2021hdr is a binary supermassive black hole (BSMBH) system in the center of a galaxy 1 billion light-years away, in the Cygnus constellation. In 2021, ...

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 ...

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.

A binary system in the S cluster close to the supermassive black hole Sagittarius A*. Nature Communications , 2024; 15 (1) DOI: 10.1038/s41467-024-54748-3 Cite This Page : ...

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.
