When the Sky Isn’t the Limit: Simulations of Imaging a Black Hole from Space
Recently, the world saw the first-ever images of a black hole’s shadow. Future images could be sharper with space-based telescopes!
The First Image of a Black Hole
The Event Horizon Telescope has observed the supermassive black hole at the center of M87, producing the first-ever image of a black hole and marking the beginning of a new era in astronomy.
LISA forewarnings can help LIGO study black holes
We can use forewarnings from future space-based detector LISA to improve LIGO detections.
Ideal cosmic yardstick: neutron star black hole mergers as standard sirens
Neutron star black hole mergers are an ideal way to measure the Hubble constant.
Small black hole meets big black hole
What happens as a small black hole spirals into a supermassive black hole?
The Biggest, Baddest Quasar of Them All
Today’s authors have discovered the biggest, baddest quasar in all the land: J2157-3602. Don’t let this quasar’s numerical name fool you – it is home to the fastest growing black hole yet discovered.
