Artist’s impression of the accretion disc around the massive black hole Ansky and its interaction with a small celestial object

From boring to bursting: a giant black hole awakens

Categories Physics & Mathematics, Space

X-ray data gathered by the Chandra telescope from the center of M31, highlighting the four nuclear sources — S1, SSS, N1, and P2. P2 corresponds to the position of the supermassive black hole at the center of the Andromeda galaxy.

A 3D rendered image of the spiral galaxy NGC 4151, with a bright central region representing the active galactic nucleus. The image zooms in to show a glowing accretion disk surrounding a supermassive black hole, with twin jets of particles emanating from the disk's center. Colorful spectral lines are overlaid on the image, highlighting the iron fingerprints detected by XRISM's Resolve instrument.

This artist’s illustration depicts the “tidal disruption event” (TDE) called ASASSN-14li, which is the focus of the latest study. As a star approached too closely to the supermassive black hole at the system, the strong gravity tore the star apart. This artist’s impression depicts the aftermath of this destruction. After the star was ripped apart, some of its gas (red) was left orbiting around and falling into the black hole. A portion of the gas was driven away in a wind (blue).
