Black Hole Flare

An undetected intermediate-mass black hole lurking in a dwarf galaxy revealed itself to astronomers when it devoured an unlucky star that got too close.

Two Columbia University researchers have invented a method of observing into the void between a pair of supermassive black holes that may be more convenient than previous ways. With this new development, astronomers may be able to study black holes smaller than Messier 87 in galaxies further away.

A team of international astronomers believe that they might have detected light from a black hole merger, for the first time ever. This unprecedented event was noted by scientists at Caltech' Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) in California after studying gravitational waves and electromagnetic radiation from the collision of two black holes.

A team of astronomers, led by John Paice who is a student at Pune-based Inter-University Centre for Astronomy & Astrophysics (IUCAA), has created a high frame-rate movie of a growing black hole system at a level of detail never seen before.

An intense flare detected last year in a distant galaxy about four billion light years from Earth, considered to be the brightest supernova ever observed, is actually a tidal disruption event (TDE) -- the destruction of a star by a rapidly spinning super massive black hole, suggests new research.

Scientists have for the first time witnessed a black hole swallowing a star in a galaxy 300 million light years away and ejecting a flare of matter moving at nearly the speed of light.

An Indian astrophysicist says the recent observation by NASA scientists of giant flares of X-rays from a black hole confirms his theory that the so-called black holes are not "true" black holes but actually ultra hot balls of fire like our Sun.

Perched atop a volcano in Mexico, a new generation observatory capable of detecting exploding stars, black holes and solar flares will begin operating this week, scientists said on Tuesday.

NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory has observed the largest flare detected from a supermassive black hole at the centre of the Milky Way.
