In addition to helping the researchers nail down the nebula's ellipsoidal structure, the 3D model also confirmed that the ...

Since 2018, we've seen 1ES 1927+654 generate jets in real time and found it may have a lone white dwarf orbiting near the ...

A supermassive black hole in a distant galaxy is once again surprising scientists. In 2018, a black hole called 1ES 1927+654, ...

Strange x-ray pulses hint at a surprisingly long-lived white dwarf orbiting precariously close to a supermassive black hole ...

The weird outbursts of a distant supermassive black hole may be caused by a death-defying white dwarf walking a cosmic tight ...

Astronomers theorize that a low-mass white dwarf, a compact core of a dead star about as large as Earth, could be the culprit. A cosmic mystery surrounding a black hole some 270 million light ...

MIT astronomers have been captivated by the strange behaviors of a supermassive black located 270 million light-years away, ...

Scientists have detected emanating from the nucleus of a galaxy relatively close to our Milky Way flashes of X-rays gradually ...

Our sun is a lonely star. At least half the stars in our galaxy have binary companions. This was nicely illustrated in the ...

Scientists have observed X-rays emanating from a white dwarf orbiting a supermassive black hole in a galaxy near the Milky Way. The study notes the stability of the dwarf's orbit, despite its ...

"This tells us that objects like white dwarfs may be able to live very close to an event horizon for a relatively extended period of time." Using the XMM-Newton X-ray telescope, astronomers have ...
