Astronomers have been left baffled by a cosmic discovery that defies longstanding theories about how stars interact with ...

"These are the first JWST observations of tidal disruption events, and they look nothing like what we’ve ever seen before." ...

What can dormant black holes teach astronomers about tidal disruption events (TDEs), which is the bright flash observed when a black hole consumes a star t | Space ...

Unlike active galaxies that constantly pull in surrounding material, these black holes lie dormant, waking briefly to feast ...

Astronomers used to think this was an immediate death sentence for a star. Now an international team, led by Tel Aviv University in Israel, has published the first confirmed case of a star surviving ...

Using various telescopes worldwide, an international team of astronomers has observed a tidal disruption event (TDE) known as ...

A new discovery challenges the previously accepted understanding of how stars interact with black holes. While it’s often said that lightning never strikes the same place twice, black holes seem to ...

The Hubble Telescope and Chandra X-ray Observatory saw an enigmatic intermediate-mass black hole lighting up in X-rays, ...

However, these “dormant” singularities will occasionally come into contact with stars and other objects as they move around the galaxy. If they come too close, these objects are gobbled up by the ...

Lightning might not strike twice, but black holes apparently do. An international group of researchers led by Tel Aviv ...

Tidal Disruption Event: An astronomical occurrence wherein a star is torn apart by the strong tidal forces of a supermassive black hole, leading to debris accretion and transient emission.
