JNS.org – Israeli scientists said in research published on Monday that they intercepted radio emissions that may challenge the assumptions of how black holes behave. As part of the research, which was published by the peer-reviewed journal  Nature Astronomy, physicist Assaf Horesh of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, senior lecturer in astrophysics Iair Arcavi of Tel Aviv University an...

Binary Black Hole (Illustration) A team of researchers from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem led by Dr. Assaf Horesh has discovered the first evidence of radio flares emitted only long after a star is destroyed by a black hole. Published in the periodical Nature Astronomy ( Delayed radio flares from a tidal disruption event), the discovery relied upon ultra-powerful radio telescopes to study these catastrophic cosmic events in distant galaxies called Tidal Disruption Events (TDE). While resea...

Black holes can go months or years before gobbling up last of dead star’s remains, physicists say, after detecting pattern of radio emissions from aftermath of star’s destruction
