Astronomers detect record radio burst from black hole destroying a star
An international team led by UC Berkeley astronomers, including Israeli researchers, discovered an extraordinary cosmic event showing the fastest radio emission ever observed from a black hole destroying a star outside a galactic core
Astronomers detect radio signals from a black hole tearing apart a star—outside a galactic center
An international team of astronomers has discovered the first tidal disruption event (TDE) producing bright radio emission outside the center of a galaxy. The findings are published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters.
Astronomers have made a remarkable discovery by observing the event AT 2024tvd, which questions our understanding of supermassive black holes. Located about 2,600 light years from the center of his galaxy, this exceptional event highlights the possibility that these supermassive black holes...
AT 2024tvd: A Black Hole Is Eating A Star Outside A Galaxy Center, And Spitting Parts Back Out
When you picture a black hole, you probably picture in the center of a galaxy with matter swirling toward it. You're not wrong but that is why the exception proves the rule.A recent study detected a surprising tidal disruption event where a black hole outside the center of a galaxy is tearing apart a star. Even stranger and defiance of black hole lore, the delayed and powerful radio outbursts suggest previously unknown processes in how black hol…
