“Astounding” – Astronomers Reveal Hidden Monster Black Hole Lurking in Our Galactic Backyard
Astronomers have discovered strong evidence of a supermassive black hole in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way. Astronomers have found compelling evidence for the closest known supermassive black hole outside the Milky Way. This enormous black hole resides in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), one of our galaxy’s nearest neighbors. [...]
Gravity giant with junior partner: The central black hole of our Milky Way was not always alone – it had a smaller partner for about 200 million years, as astronomers have found. This only 15,000 solar masses heavy intermediate black hole formed an unequal pair with the larger Sagittarius A*, as astronomers have determined. Only about ten million years ago the two unequal black holes merged. At the center of our Milky Way lies the four million s…
A team of astrophysicists has just revealed the presence of a supermassive black hole of 600,000 solar masses in the Magellan Great Cloud (MCL), thanks to the analysis of the trajectory of 10 hypervelocated stars from it. They publish their study in The Astrophysical Journal. Hyperveloceous stars (HVS) are mainly produced by the Hills mechanism. Hills mechanism tells us that when a stellar binary wanders near a supermassive black hole, one star …
