Coronae of supermassive black holes may be the hidden sources of mysterious cosmic neutrinos seen on Earth The origin of high-energy cosmic neutrinos observed by the IceCube Neutrino Observatory, whose detector is buried deep in […]
New research hints at the presence of unconventional galaxies containing two black holes A Clemson University scientist has joined forces with an international team of astronomers to identify periodic gamma-ray emissions from 11 active galaxies, […]
Black holes? They are like a hologram According to new research by SISSA, ICTP and INFN, black holes could be like holograms, in which all the information to produce a three-dimensional image is encoded in […]
Large simulation finds new origin of supermassive black holes Computer simulations conducted by astrophysicists at Tohoku University in Japan, have revealed a new theory for the origin of supermassive black holes. In this theory, the […]
A new theorem predicts that stationary black holes must have at least one light ring Black holes, regions in space with such an intense gravitational field that no matter or radiation can escape from them, […]
Under pressure, black holes feast A new, Yale-led study shows that some supermassive black holes actually thrive under pressure. It has been known for some time that when distant galaxies—and the supermassive black holes within their cores—aggregate into […]
