An illustration of a black hole with an accretion disk, accompanied by diagrams showcasing the team's research. Astronomers have observed the outer edge of a disk of matter surrounding a feeding ...

A close encounter more than 10,000 years ago stirred up spirals in the accretion disk surrounding the black hole at the center of our galaxy. Dr. LU Xing, an associate researcher from the Shanghai ...

To understand the mysteries surrounding black holes, researchers at Tohoku University have created a simulation of accretion disk turbulence that possesses the highest-resolution currently available.

Black holes themselves emit no light, but the matter spiralling into them forms a hot, dense accretion disc that radiates ...

Researchers conducted innovative simulations of spinning black holes grounded in general relativity, which clarified that the ultraluminous accretion disk (i.e., gaseous spiral surrounding a black ...

New simulations show flickering black hole signals arise from unstable shocks inside accretion discs, revealing how matter ...

Scientists may have found "the most hellish place in the Universe" after discovering the fastest black hole on record. The team from the Australian National University, led by associate professor ...

Quasars and active galactic nuclei (AGN) are likely powered by matter accretion onto a super-massive black hole located at their center. Before being swallowed by the black hole, matter spirals ...

A schematic view of the history of the accretion disk and the intruding object. The three plots starting from the bottom left are snapshots from the numerical simulation, depicting the system at the ...
