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 ...

Supermassive black holes spiral towards each other in this simulation created by NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center that ...

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.

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) ...

New simulations suggest magnetic fields hold the key to forming black holes that defy known mass limits. When powerful magnetic forces act on a collapsing, spinning star, they eject vast amounts of ...

Near the black hole (shown in the center), an accretion flow forms a dense, thin thermal disk embedded within a magnetically dominated envelope that helps stabilize the system. The flow is ...
