Stars Survive Close Encounters with Black Holes, Emitting Fading Flares

23 Ağustos 2026Science Daily

Astronomers have discovered a phenomenon where certain stars repeatedly pass close to supermassive black holes, surviving these encounters while emitting bursts of light. Interestingly, the brightness of these flares tends to diminish with each pass.
Researchers propose that the stars' rapid rotation prior to being captured by the black holes may play a crucial role in this process.
This research adds to the growing body of knowledge about the behavior of stars in extreme gravitational fields. The study of supermassive black holes and their interactions with nearby stars is vital for understanding galaxy formation and evolution.
The findings highlight the complex interactions between stars and black holes, suggesting that the initial conditions of the stars, such as their rotation speed, significantly influence their fate. This could lead to a deeper understanding of stellar dynamics in extreme gravitational fields and the evolution of star…
