They found that the disk of
debris around the black hole smothers all but the highest energy radiation and thus renders the black holes undetectable by optical telescopes.

The researchers modeled the resulting accretion disc — an elliptical disc of stellar
debris swirling
around the
black hole — along with its probable speed, radius, and rate of infall, or speed at which material falls onto the
black hole.
Whether
around a young star or a supermassive
black hole, the many mutually interacting objects in a self - gravitating
debris disk are complicated to describe mathematically.
The
debris gathered into an accretion disk
around the
black hole.
Team leader Mauri Valtonen of the University of Turku in Finland used equations derived from Einstein's theory of general relativity to show that the pulses could be caused by a small, orbiting
black hole plunging into the
debris disk
around the larger one, situated at one end of the orbital ellipse.
Matter being pulled into a
black hole gathers
around it like storm
debris circling a tornado's center.
Subsequently, matter from the
debris of the merger that swirls rapidly
around the newly created new
black hole has been modelled as amplifying the strength of the combined magnetic field left over by the neutron stars after their merger over the next 11 milliseconds.
