Study Shows Photosphere is the Origin of Photons Emitted by Long Gamma-Ray Bursts

Using simulations, researchers from the RIKEN Cluster for Pioneering Research and their colleagues have shown that the origin of photons emitted by long gamma-ray bursts—one of the most energetic events to occur in the universe—is the photosphere, which the visible portion of the “relativistic jet” that exploding stars emit.

Astronomers Capture First-Ever Direct Image of Doughnut-Shaped Feature Surrounding a Supermassive Black Hole

The Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) of the National Science Foundation was used by astronomers to capture the first direct image of a doughnut-shaped, dusty feature around the supermassive black hole located at the core of one of the most powerful radio galaxies in the Universe—a feature first proposed by theorists almost 40 years ago as a fundamental part of such objects.

Observation of Gravitational Lensing Effects Proves Tiny Black Holes Do Not Constitute Dark Matter

An international research team has placed a theory proposed by the late Stephen Hawking to its toughest test until now. The test results have eliminated the possibility of dark matter being mostly formed of primordial black holes smaller than one-tenth of 1 mm.
