A supermassive black hole feeding on a star is accompanied by intense radiation that can briefly outshine the galaxy where ...

In a breakthrough, a team of computational astrophysicists has developed the most comprehensive model of luminous black hole accretion to date. The team used two of the world’s most powerful ...

Merging neutron stars are excellent targets for multi-messenger astronomy. This modern and still very young method of astrophysics coordinates observations of the various signals from one and the same ...

A new simulation could help solve one of astronomy’s longstanding mysteries—how supermassive black holes formed so rapidly—along with a new one: What are the James Webb Space Telescope’s (JWST) ...

In a new Physical Review Letters study, researchers have successfully followed a gravitational wave's complete journey from the infinite past to the infinite future as it encounters a black hole.
