The detection of supermassive black holes orbiting each other could soon move from theory to observation, thanks to a remarkable optical phenomenon. Normally invisible, these cosmic giants ...

Abstract: Classifying binary black-hole (BBH) systems from noisy, irregular light curves poses a significant challenge in astrophysics. This work introduces an explainable AI pipeline designed to ...

A neutron star and black hole (GW200105) were detected merging along an unusual oval orbit, challenging theories about how ...

A newly analyzed gravitational-wave event has revealed something unexpected about one of the Universe’s most violent encounters. Scientists have found the first strong evidence that a black hole and a ...

A neutron star and black hole were detected merging along an unusual oval orbit, challenging long-held theories about how these systems form.

For the first time, a binary black hole merger, observed in November 2024, has been linked with a short gamma-ray burst (GRB), a phenomenon that was previously thought impossible. This unprecedented ...

A new image from the European Southern Observatory reveals a gas cloud orbiting the Milky Way’s central black hole, offering details on its structure and motion.

The signal indicated that the event occurred extremely far away. The masses of the objects involved also caught scientists’ attention.

Despite years of debate and follow-up studies, an odd streak of cosmic light still defies a final explanation. Is it a giant ...

Scientists analyzing a gravitational-wave signal have discovered that a neutron star and black hole spiraled together on an oval-shaped orbit just before merging. This unusual motion, detected in the ...

Scientists have found the first strong evidence that a neutron star and a black hole merged while travelling in an oval-shaped orbit ...

An international team from China and Italy has reported a possible cosmic encore to the landmark 2017 multi-messenger ...
