Sentences with phrase «cloud by a black hole»

A cosmic phenomenon on a colossal scale, resulting from the acceleration of a gas cloud by a black hole and its reacceleration by the shock waves from the merging of two galaxy clusters, has been observed, described and interpreted by an international collaboration of astronomers that included three Brazilians: Felipe Andrade - Santos, Vinicius Moris Placco, and Rafael Miloni Santucci.

In December 2011, astronomers identified the gas cloud, called G2, and found that its orbit would bring it perilously close to the Milky Way's central black hole by mid-2013.

Nevertheless, those modest - size black holes left a big mark by performing a form of stellar birth control: Radiation from the trickle of material falling into the holes heated surrounding clouds of gas to about 5,000 degrees Fahrenheit, so hot that the gas could no longer easily coalesce.

It is orbited by a small group of bright stars and, in addition, an enigmatic dusty cloud, known as G2, has been tracked on its fall towards the black hole over the last few years.

To probe the cloud, the team used an even more distant quasar — a hugely bright light source powered by a supermassive black hole — as a backlight.

Astronomers are missing as many as one - third of black holes by looking with the wrong telescopes, according to a new study which finds that massive black holes may be hiding behind thick clouds of dust and gas in the centers of galaxies.

By analyzing the gas motion of an extraordinarily fast - moving cosmic cloud in a corner of the Milky Way, astronomers found hints of a wandering black hole hidden in the cloud.

In the new observations, certain wavelengths seem to be absorbed by fast - moving gas clouds, presumably debris from a doomed star: relatively cool gas laden with ionized carbon and silicon, flowing away from the black hole with a velocity of some 6000 kilometers per second.

Now a team led by Fabio Pacucci at Scuola Normale Superiore in Pisa, Italy, thinks it has found two examples of the latter: baby black holes that formed directly from a collapsing gas cloud without becoming a star first.

The researchers conclude that galaxies may thus be formed by clouds of gas that are bombarded by streams of matter and energy from black holes — which are building their own homes.

Astronomers believe it was shot from the Large Magellanic Cloud by an as - yet - unseen black hole.

«Ripped apart by a black hole: Gas cloud makes closest approach to monster at center of Milky Way.»

New observations from ESO's Very Large Telescope show for the first time a gas cloud being ripped apart by the supermassive black hole at the center of the galaxy.

Because it takes time for the X-rays to reach the cloud, some of them were still arriving and making it glow when it emitted the light Van Arkel saw, even though the black hole was by then quiet.

This cloud is now making its closest approach and new VLT observations show that it is being grossly stretched by the black hole's extreme gravitational field.

The clouds were probably energised by nearby monster black holes that had blasted them with intense radiation.

New observations from ESO's Very Large Telescope show for the first time a gas cloud being ripped apart by the supermassive black hole at the centre of the galaxy.

According to the researchers, there are two possible scenarios in which such a cloud could have been created — the first one that involves the expanding gas shell of the supernova remnant passing by a static black hole, and the other wherein a fast - moving black hole plunges through a cloud of dense gas that is then dragged along by the former's strong gravity.

See images of new observations from ESO's Very Large Telescope showing a gas cloud ripped apart by the supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy, the Milky Way.

Astronomers using the National Science Foundation's Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) of radio telescopes have discovered a cloud of gas apparently being struck by a jet of ultrafast particles powered by the energy of a supermassive black hole at the core of a galaxy 450 million light - years away.

Astronomers using the National Science Foundation's Very Long Baseline Array of radio telescopes have discovered a cloud of gas apparently being struck by a jet of ultrafast particles powered by the energy of a supermassive black hole at the core of a galaxy 450 million light - years away.

Astronomers looked at it and realized she had spotted something they had never seen before: a gas cloud as big as our solar system, illuminated by energy from a nearby galaxy's black hole [source: Plait].

Using data from three of NASA's Great Observatories (the Hubble Space Telescope, Chandra X-ray Observatory, and Spitzer Space Telescope), scientists have found the best evidence to date that supermassive black holes in the early universe were produced by the direct collapse of a gas cloud.

An image of clouds accelerating due to gravitational scattering caused by the intermediate - mass black hole.

SDSS studies have probed the dark matter environments of quasars through clustering measurements, revealed populations of quasars whose central engines are hidden by obscuring dust, captured changes in quasar spectra that show clouds moving in the gravitational grip of the central black hole, and allowed a comprehensive census of the much fainter accreting black holes (active galactic nuclei, or AGN) in present - day galaxies.

These supermassive black holes sustain themselves by swallowing stars, planets, asteroids, comets and clouds of gas that wander by the crowded galactic core.
