Mint Explainer: Why black holes are on India’s radar

Live Mint  

If you watched Christopher Nolan’s 2014 movie Interstellar, you would be familiar with the word black hole, even if you do not fully understand what it means. In December 2021, the US-based National Aeronautics Space Agency launched the imaging X-ray polarimetry explorer mission to explore the remnants of supernova explosions, the particle streams emitted by black holes and other cosmic …

Astronomers marvel at 'perfect explosion,' a spherical cosmic fireball

The Hindu  

Astronomers have observed what might be the "perfect explosion," a colossal and utterly spherical blast triggered by the merger of two very dense stellar remnants called neutron stars shortly before the combined entity collapsed to form a black hole. "To be honest, we are really going back to the drawing board with this," Cosmic Dawn Center astrophysicist and study co-author …

Science For All What is a kilonova?

The Hindu  

Researchers have confirmed the detection of a star system that will one day end in a kilonova. A kilonova is a similar cosmic event that occurs not when stars die but when a neutron star smashes into another neutron star or a black hole. Neutron stars are formed when massive stars explode in a supernova while their cores implode, crushing …

Neutron Stars Behave Like Filling In Chocolates, New Study Says

ABP News  

Scientists know little about the interior of neutron stars, which contain about a Sun's worth of mass packed in a sphere the size of a large city. Now, a new study says that neutron stars behave like fillings of chocolates. Neutron stars behave like chocolate pralines According to the study, neutron stars behave like chocolate pralines. Neutron stars can behave …

Gravitational Waves Caused by Collision of Neutron Star and Black Hole Detected

News 18  

Scientists have for the first time detected gravitational waves — ripples in the fabric of space-time — produced by the collision of a neutron star and a black hole. The finding confirms that there are systems consisting of a neutron star and a black hole, and will help answer many questions about the cosmos, from star formation to the expansion …

Elusive neutron star remnants of famous Supernova 1987A finally found, scientists claim

Firstpost  

In a decade, scientists expect to be able to see emissions from the pulsar better, to back their hypothesis with evidence. A group of astronomers, using data from earlier space missions and ground-based telescopes, claim to have finally found a squashed stellar core from a star explosion that was seen on 24 February 1987. The report added that while astronomers …
