The study, «Accretion - induced variability links young stellar objects, white dwarfs, and black holes», which is published in the journal Science Advances, shows how the «flickering» in the visible brightness of young stellar objects (YSOs)-- very young stars in the final stages of formation — is similar to the flickering seen from black holes or white dwarfs as they violently pull matter from their surroundings in a process known as aAccretion - induced variability links young stellar objects, white dwarfs, and black holes», which is published in the journal Science Advances, shows how the «flickering» in the visible brightness of young stellar objects (YSOs)-- very young stars in the final stages of formation — is similar to the flickering seen from black holes or white dwarfs as they violently pull matter from their surroundings in a process known as accretionaccretion.

He saw the black hole's event horizon, the point beyond which nothing can escape; and an accretion disk, the gathering of matter siphoned from nearby stars.

For comparison, the event horizon of a black hole like this is about 13 times bigger than the sun, and the accretion disk formed by the disrupted star could extend to more than twice Earth's distance from the sun.

Image from a simulation produced using the Blue Waters supercomputer demonstrates that relativistic jets follow along with the precession of the tilted accretion disk around the black hole.

Black holes whip out superheated gas from their accretion disks — pulled together from material in surrounding space by their massive gravity — at such temperatures that the resulting light can outshine entire galaxies.

Each time a merger occurred, material from the new galaxy got incorporated into the accretion disk around the black hole, spinning in the same direction as the black hole and eventually contributing to its growth.

Eventually the black hole pulls material from the accretion disk into it, raising temperatures which emits a glow.

In addition to accretion disks, black holes also have winds and incredibly bright jets erupting from them along their rotation axis, shooting out matter and radiation at nearly the speed of light.

The black holes that we can observe directly through their radiant emission are mostly in a configuration where gas swirls around the black hole in the form of an accretion disk and that accretion disk — most of the mass is going to be in an ionized form, and then some of that gas gets expelled from the environment around the black hole, while it is still outside the black hole, it gets squirted out in the form of an outflow, a wind like the solar wind and then [a] much faster, collimated outflow called a jet.

Scientists had already suggested that, close to the black hole, the flat accretion disc puffs up into a hot plasma, in which electrons are stripped from their host atoms.

We now know that «radio loud» quasars occur when a fraction of the matter in the accretion disk avoids the final fate of falling into the black hole and comes blasting back out into space in high - speed jets emitted from the poles of the black hole.

Because black holes can not be observed directly, Schulze's team instead measured emissions from oxygen ions [O III] around the black hole and accretion disk to determine the radiative efficiency; i.e. how much energy matter releases as it falls into the black hole.

As matter from the star falls onto the black hole, an accretion disk forms around the black hole.

After carefully examining several possibilities, the team concluded that huge amounts of gas are rapidly falling onto «little monster» black holes in each of these ULXs, which produces a dense disk wind flowing away from the supercritical accretion disk.

By contrast, such features have not been observed from «normal» black hole X-ray binaries in the Milky Way where sub-critical accretion takes place.

«It's unlikely that radiation from an entire accretion disk could be beamed in one direction» from a smaller black hole, he notes.

Swirling disks of material — called accretion disks — may surround black holes, and jets of matter may arise from their vicinity.

«From the available Chandra data for the source, we also concluded that the black hole has a very low accretion rate, and is therefore reached the end of its growth.

The problem, of course, stems from the fact that with the exception of active black holes — which are surrounded with a bright accretion disk — it is kind of hard to hunt down objects that do not allow even light to escape their gravitational pull.

Early black hole may have sucked matter in from all around, rather than just from an accretion disk.

That growth should happen in part by mergers with other black holes and in part by accretion of material from the part of the galaxy that surrounds the black hole.

Typically stellar mass black holes in the Milky Way have been found by detection of X-ray radiation from their accretion disks.

These galactic types are all characterized by violent activity at their cores, usually explained as arising from an accretion disk of hot gases that surrounds a central black hole having a mass of about 1,000,000,000 Suns.

The accretion disk is a few trillion kilometers across (a few light months across) but most of the intense radiation is produced within a couple of hundred billion kilometers from the black hole.

If the dust ring hides the accretion disk, then only the slower - moving hot clouds that are farther from the black hole are visible.

«This may imply that at least the outer part of the jet is launched from the accretion disk surrounding the black hole.

In March, researchers from the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico used computer simulations to calculate the rate of evolution of supermassive black holes if their growth is fed by cold and dense accretion streams.

«This lack of collisionality distinguishes the Sagittarius A * accretion disk from brighter and more radiative disks that orbit other black holes,» the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) explained in the statement.
