X-ray binary Swift J1727.8-1613 has a large relativistic jet, observations show
Using the Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) and the Long Baseline Array (LBA), astronomers have observed a black hole low-mass X-ray binary known as Swift J1727.8-1613. As a result, they found that the system hosts a highly extended and bright relativi.....»»
Simulations demonstrate potential mechanisms of intermediate-mass black hole formation in globular clusters

Chandra X-ray Observatory"s clear, sharp photos help astrophysicist study energetic black holes
When a star is born or dies, or when any other very energetic phenomenon occurs in the universe, it emits X-rays, which are high-energy light particles that aren't visible to the naked eye. These X-rays are the same kind that doctors use to take pict.....»»
