Texas Tech professor part of team researching massive black hole

Cygnus X-1, a system that contains the most massive stellar-mass black hole ever detected without the use of gravitational waves according to the journal Science and a release made by Texas Tech today. The massive black hole located in the Cygnus X-1 system is one of the closest to Earth, according to the release. The black hole was discovered in 1964 by a pair of Geiger counters that were carried on board a sub-orbital rocket launched from New Mexico. Tom Maccarone, the presidential research excellence professor in the Department of Physics & Astronomy at Tech, said the research they are doing highlights how much there still is to learn about the black hole. Already one of the most massive stellar-mass black holes, it has now been pushed into a range close to where most of the merging black holes seen by gravitational waves have been found, according to the release.
