According to the team's modeling and calculations with the added pulsar data, the motions of the stars in the center of Omega ...
Has the decades-long mystery behind the strange star movements in Omega Centauri, the Milky Way’s largest star cluster, ...
New research may have delivered bad news for scientists who thought they had discovered a "missing link" black hole in a dense Milky Way star cluster. The new findings imply that, rather than a ...
There may not be an intermediate-mass black hole in this cluster after all, a new study shows. Illustration of the potential black holes within Omega Centauri (main) and stock image of a black ...
Black Hole Debate Settled? Stellar-Mass Black Holes Found at the Heart of the Milky Way's Largest Star Cluster Dec. 9, 2024 — Could a decades-long debate about the mysterious movements of stars ...
But it wasn't clear whether this was caused by an "intermediate mass" black hole (IMBH), weighing a hundred thousand times the mass of the Sun, or a cluster of "stellar mass" black holes ...
For example, in globular clusters, which are considered key hosts for black hole mergers, the escape velocity is only about 50 km/s. Although the spin and mass of black holes can be measured ...
What appeared to be an intermediate-mass black hole was a cluster of stellar-mass black holes. New research may have delivered bad news for scientists who thought they had discovered a "missing ...
Astronomers thought that a swarm would be far less likely, since gravitational interactions between the black holes and other stars could send them flying out of the center of the cluster willy-nilly.
But it wasn't clear whether this was caused by an "intermediate mass" black hole (IMBH), weighing a hundred thousand times the mass of the sun, or a cluster of "stellar mass" black holes ...
