Some black holes may be messier than others when it comes to their eating habits, according to new research. Intermediate-mass black holes take a few bites out of wayward stars before tossing away the stellar remnants.
Black holes have a reputation for snacking on stars, but some of these celestial garbage disposals may be messier than others, according to new research. Astrophysicists used 3D computer models to show that intermediate-mass black holes take a few bites out of wayward stars before tossing away the stellar crumbs and leaving a cosmic trail. Researchers made the discovery while running simulations on black holes of various masses and sending sun-size stars past them.
After each passage, they lose more mass, causing a flair of light as ripped apart. Each flare is brighter than the last, creating a signature that might help astronomers find them.” The search for elusive black holes Astrophysicists are still trying to prove if intermediate-mass black holes exist in the first place. The elusive celestial objects, estimated to be between three and 10 times the mass of our sun, are created when exploding stars collapse.
