Astronomers Detect Radio Signals From a Black Hole Tearing Apart a Star—Outside a Galactic Center

“Truly Extraordinary” – Supermassive Black Hole Found in the Last Place Scientists Expected

A black hole far from its galactic center has unleashed the fastest, brightest radio flares ever seen from a star’s destruction. For the first time, astronomers have detected a tidal disruption event (TDE), when a black hole destroys a passing star, taking place far from a galaxy’s center. This unusual cosmic encounter produced remarkably strong [...]

Astronomers detect record radio burst from black hole destroying a star

An international team led by UC Berkeley astronomers, including Israeli researchers, discovered an extraordinary cosmic event showing the fastest radio emission ever observed from a black hole destroying a star outside a galactic core

Astronomers detect radio signals from a black hole tearing apart a star—outside a galactic center

An international team of astronomers has discovered the first tidal disruption event (TDE) producing bright radio emission outside the center of a galaxy. The findings are published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters.

AT 2024tvd: A Black Hole Is Eating A Star Outside A Galaxy Center, And Spitting Parts Back Out

When you picture a black hole, you probably picture in the center of a galaxy with matter swirling toward it. You're not wrong but that is why the exception proves the rule.A recent study detected a surprising tidal disruption event where a black hole outside the center of a galaxy is tearing apart a star. Even stranger and defiance of black hole lore, the delayed and powerful radio outbursts suggest previously unknown processes in how black hol…
