Black holes are powerful enough to rip apart stars caught in their orbit– but we’ve seen the signals from a few of these disruptive events repeat. What happens when a black hole only eats part of a star?
Today’s authors analyze the time delay between energetic flares coming from a black hole x-ray binary system, and try to determine if this is evidence of a magnetic process occuring in the accretion disk.
In this Astrobite, we look at black hole mergers in the accretion disks around supermassive black holes, because you can simply never have too many black holes!
Today’s bite kicks black holes through an accretion disk, come find out if they score!
