  Boston MA (SPX) Oct 24, 2024 Many black holes detected to date appear to be part of a pair. These binary systems comprise a black hole and a secondary object - such as a star, a much denser neutron star, or another black hole - that spiral around each other, drawn together by the black hole's gravity to form a tight orbital pair. Now a surprising discovery is expanding the picture of black holes, the objects they can host, and the way they form. In a study appearing in Nature, physicists at MIT and Caltech report that t ... read more |
