Not all Black Holes who wander are lost
The study finds mergers drive the biggest central black holes, while satellite and wandering black holes grow slowly with little gas or merger activity.

Black holes older than the Big Bang could explain dark matter
Some black holes roaming the Universe today may actually be older than the Big Bang. A new cosmic “bounce” model suggests the Universe expanded from an earlier contracting phase, allowing ancient black holes to survive the transition as cosmic fossils. These relics could potentially explain dark matter and why surprisingly massive objects appeared so early in cosmic history.

A black hole does not necessarily retain all the material it attracts. In the Swift J1727.8−1613 system, a large amount of gas seems to be returning to space. According to the researchers, this release could be comparable to the amount absorbed at the same time.
NASA Swift Finds a Wandering Black Hole Tearing Apart a Star
Black holes are difficult to find when they are quiet. The one in NASA’s latest Swift result gave itself away by destroying a star. The flare came from the outskirts of a galaxy about 750 million light-years away, more than 30,000 light-years from the galaxy’s center. That is an unusual address for a supermassive black […] The post NASA’s Swift Caught a Wandering Black Hole Tearing Apart a Star appeared first on Curiosmos.
