A bright flash of high-energy gamma rays heralds the merger of two dense neutron stars. What’s left behind? For the first time, authors have detected a follow-up radio burst which may hint at the nature of the merger’s remnant.
Find out how astronomers have discovered a potential black hole collision in the early Universe using observations from the James Webb Space Telescope.
Today we interview astrophysicist Stephen Taylor for his plenary talk at #AAS243!
In this Astrobite, the authors search for primordial black holes, a dark matter candidate, by calculating the effect their gravity would have on objects in our Solar System!
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?
Find out what would happen if the Sun or other stars hid primordial black holes in their centers.
