Massive black hole is involved in the destruction of stars Bashny.Net

The new results, which came from the observatory «Chandra» and telescope «Magellan» show that the dense stellar remnants are the result of rupture of a star by a black hole, which is a thousand times more massive than our sun. This information is conclusive proof of the existence of intermediate-mass black holes, also is the first to catch a black hole that ripped apart a star.





Astronomers have suspected that globular cluster may contain intermediate-mass black holes, but conclusive evidence has not yet been.



Recall that black holes have different masses. Supermassive - several million to several billion times the mass of the Sun and black holes in binary systems of stellar origin - their mass from a few to several tens of solar masses.

Figure supermassive black hole.


The existence of intermediate-mass black holes remained in question until now.
