A new generation of black hole research is unfolding thanks to artificial intelligence, massive simulations, and cutting-edge ...

Caltech simulations reveal what happens when black holes collide with neutron stars—violent cracking, intense shock waves, ...

Binary neutron star mergers, cosmic collisions between two very dense stellar remnants made up predominantly of neutrons, ...

What began as a mathematical curiosity scorned by leading scientists has become the cornerstone of modern astrophysics, ...

A new set of simulations offers an unparalleled look at the dramatic collision between a black hole and a neutron star, revealing the violent forces that take place just before the star is consumed.

Signals from scattering black holes and neutron stars should be within reach of the next generation of gravitational-wave detectors that are set to come online in the late 2030s.

Gravitational waves, ripples in spacetime caused by accelerating massive objects, have revolutionised astrophysics since their first detection in 2015. ... The project utilised over 300,000 core hours ...

A study published in Nature has established a new benchmark in modeling the universe's most extreme events: the collisions of black holes and neutron stars. This research, led by Professor Jan ...

The Singularity: According to Einstein’s equations, at the center of a black hole a star’s entire mass has collapsed into an infinitely dense, dimensionless point called a singularity.

How did supermassive black holes get big so fast? Astrophysicist Souphie Koudmani tells us how she and her colleagues are finding out.

The Kerr solution to the equations of General Relativity is the most accurate representation of rotating black holes observed in gravitational astrophysics. It depicts a black hole as a maelstrom in ...

Unraveling the cosmic equation. Despite the intriguing data, the precise mechanism by which black holes contribute to the acceleration of the universe’s expansion remains elusive. Scientists continue ...
