2 days ago · Black holes of stellar mass form when massive stars collapse at the end of their life cycle. After a black hole has formed, it can grow by absorbing mass from its surroundings. Supermassive black holes of millions of solar masses (M ☉) may form by absorbing other stars and merging with other black holes, or via direct collapse of gas clouds.
1 day ago · Since astrophysical objects such as stars and planets are known to spin, scientists expect that black holes would spin as well, based on how they form. Astronomical evidence has shown that black ...
2 days ago · Formation. An artist's conception of a supermassive black hole surrounded by an accretion disk and emitting a relativistic jet. The origin of supermassive black holes remains an active field of research. Astrophysicists agree that black holes can grow by accretion of matter and by merging with other black holes.
4 days ago · The chemical composition of the companion star suggests that the black hole was formed after the collapse of a massive star with very few heavy elements, or metals, as predicted by theory.

5 days ago · Using X-ray data to test Einstein’s theory of gravity, their study gives the first observational proof that a “plunging-region” exists around black holes: an area where matter stops circling the hole and instead falls straight in. Furthermore, the team found that this region exerts some of the strongest gravitational forces yet identified ...
2 days ago · Black holes are intriguing astronomical objects that have a gravitational pull so strong that it prevents any object and even light from escaping. ... How is a magnetic field formed in a space ...
3 days ago · Supermassive black holes formed in the early universe and have evolved together with galaxies since then. Exactly how such black holes formed is unknown, but their growth must have been rapid, since supermassive black holes have been observed in objects that formed about one billion years after the big bang.
