Scientists Finally Observe a Black Hole Twisting Spacetime — Just as Einstein Once Predicted
This is the first time that disk-jet co-precession has been clearly observed in a black hole system, which is truly exciting, ...
Astronomers have seen spacetime itself wobble near a spinning black hole for the first time. The discovery, revealed during a star’s destruction, confirms a major prediction of Einstein’s theory of ...
The disk-instability model 9,10,11,12,13,14 was developed to explain outbursts in compact binaries in which a white dwarf accretes from a low-mass companion 15. A cool (neutral) quiescent disk is ...
