Sentences with phrase «as the black hole radiates»

But as a black hole radiates Hawking radiation, it slowly evaporates until it eventually vanishes.

Astronomers previously thought that this type of «ultraluminous X-ray source» was likely to be made up of black holes five to 50 times more massive than our sun, radiating energy as they pull in nearby matter.

During the collision, approximately three solar masses were converted into energy and radiated as gravitational waves, leaving behind a 53 - solar - mass black hole.

The simulations showed that the black holes radiated energy so intensely that they heated surrounding gas far into space — as far as 10,000 light - years away (see a movie here (22Mb)-RRB-.

That means black holes do not just suck everything in — or accrete, as they call it scientifically — but in fact they must radiate some energy out.

A black - hole merger occurs when two black holes start to spiral towards each other, radiating energy as gravitational waves.

As matter is sent whirling into a black hole, tugged ever harder by the hole's irresistible gravity, the material heats up, and along its wild ride it radiates that heat away as light, until it disappears past the black hole's «event horizon» — the border beyond which nothing, not even light, can escape the hole's violent gravitational pulAs matter is sent whirling into a black hole, tugged ever harder by the hole's irresistible gravity, the material heats up, and along its wild ride it radiates that heat away as light, until it disappears past the black hole's «event horizon» — the border beyond which nothing, not even light, can escape the hole's violent gravitational pulas light, until it disappears past the black hole's «event horizon» — the border beyond which nothing, not even light, can escape the hole's violent gravitational pull.

General relativity states that massive objects — such as two black holes — spiraling together should radiate ripples in spacetime.

Last September, that dream came true as 1000 physicists working with the Laser Interferometer Gravitational - Wave Observatory, two huge detectors in Livingston, Louisiana, and Hanford, Washington, sensed a pulse of waves radiated by two massive black holes as they spiraled into each other a billion light - years away.

Last September, that dream came true as 1000 physicists working with the Laser Interferometer Gravitational - Wave Observatory (LIGO), two huge detectors in Livingston, Louisiana, and Hanford, Washington, sensed a pulse of waves radiated by two massive black holes as they spiraled into each other a billion light - years away.

The incredible luminosity of a black - hole system known as ULX - 1 may force a rethink of the leading theories that explain how some black holes radiate energy, researchers said.

The first direct detection of gravitational waves occurred in mid-September 2015 (but announced February 11, 2016) with twin LIGO detectors in Hanford, WA and Livingston, LA (both USA) when ripples of spacetime from the last fraction of a second of the merger of two black holes with masses 29 and 36 solar masses combined to form a 62 - solar mass black hole with 3 solar masses of energy radiated away as gravitational waves in that last fraction of a second.

The new results support recent speculations that the material may fall into the black holes before it has time to radiate its energy as light.

Stephen Hawking theorized in 1974 that black holes radiate small numbers of particles (mainly photons), a process known as «Hawking Radiation».

Astronomers believe that supermassive, central black holes generate the radio, X-ray, and gamma - ray energy radiated by active galaxies such as Centaurus A, as well as quasars like SDSS J1030 +0524.
