Scientists may have directly observed a black hole tearing apart a white dwarf for the first time
Intermediate-mass black holes have been the missing link in the study of supermassive black holes.
A white dwarf is the extremely dense remnant of a dead star, with an average density up to a million times that of the Sun.
During its routine sky survey, the satellite's Wide-field X-ray Telescope (WXT) detected an extraordinarily bright and rapidly changing X-ray source on July 2, 2025. Designated EP250702a, this event ...
The weird outbursts of a distant supermassive black hole may be caused by a death-defying white dwarf walking a cosmic tight rope around it. Scientists want to know if a tidal disruption event that ...
On 2 July, 2025, the China-led Einstein Probe (EP) space telescope detected an exceptionally bright X-ray source whose brightness varied rapidly during a routine sky survey. Its unusual signal ...
