The Many Modes of Black Hole Accretion
New simulations explore the mechanisms by which black holes grow.
Interpreting a Galactic Burp
What happens when a normally-dormant black hole at the center of a galaxy tears apart a passing star and burps it back out again in the form of a jet? The authors of this paper think that the Swift satellite has recently witnessed exactly this!
Digging into Microquasar SS433’s Past
The interaction of jets from SS433 with the supernova remnant W50 should create a very different nebula shape than what we observe. Could changes in SS433’s past be the cause of this?
