Black holes are places where gravity is so powerful that nothing — not even light — can escape. Rather than being empty, ...

Outflows of matter are general features stemming from systems powered by compact objects such as black holes, active galactic nuclei, pulsar wind nebulae, accreting objects such as Young Stellar ...

Astronomers have found a breakthrough the "little red dots" mystery, suggesting they're an extreme object powered by ...

At the centres of many galaxies lie supermassive black holes with masses millions or even billions of times greater than the ...

Powerful bright blue cosmic explosions called Luminous Fast Blue Optical Transients could be caused when a black hole or ...

Black hole discovery reshaped astrophysics by proving that some of the universe's most powerful objects cannot be seen directly but can be measured through their effects on space and time. Signals ...

The field of astrophysics continues to probe the extreme regimes of matter and gravity through studies of neutron stars and black holes. These compact objects, forged in the aftermath of stellar ...

An artist's concept of a tidal disruption event (TDE), which happens when a star passes close to a supermassive black hole. The gravity of the black hole pulls material from the star and launches a ...
