By conducting multiwavelength observations with various telescopes and space observatories, astronomers from Tsinghua ...

A rogue, middle-mass black hole has been spotted disrupting an orbiting star in the halo of a distant galaxy, and it's all ...

The challenge is that Chandra and XMM-Newton only look at a small fraction of the sky, so they don't often find new tidal disruption events, in which black holes are consuming stars. The Vera C. Rubin ...

Astronomers may have found a rare intermediate-mass black hole outside galaxy NGC 6099—offering clues about how bigger black holes form.

The latest approach has been to use Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs), powerful emissions of radio waves that last just a fraction of ...

A black hole hiding on the outskirts of a far-off galaxy has just been caught red-handed consuming a star a galactic event that could potentially reveal secrets about one of astronomy’s most elusive ...

Using data from NASA's Chandra X-ray Telescope, XMM-Newton, and two radio telescopes, astronomers calculated how much energy was released. They found this explosion let loose a factor of five more ...

The object, named NGC 6099 HLX-1, first appeared in 2009. Chandra caught the bright X-ray flash near the galaxy’s outskirts.

Primarily, the collaboration sees this telescope as a pathfinder, an instrument to pave the way for the next frontier in space science. Scientists know that the lunar far side is a haven for radio ...
