Scientists have uncovered the existence of a binary star system close to the black hole near the center of the Milky Way galaxy.

The newly discovered binary was found in a dense cluster of stars and other objects orbiting Sagittarius A*, called the S cluster. Most enigmatic in this cluster are the G objects, which behave ...

The newly-discovered binary star system, which is home to two stars gravitationally bound to one another, was found in a dense stellar cluster orbiting Sagittarius A*, which has an estimated mass ...

The newly discovered binary star was found within the dense cluster of stars and other objects orbiting Sagittarius A*, known as the S cluster. One of the most intriguing features of this cluster ...

Binary stars have been observed elsewhere in the universe as a common occurrence ... of existing near supermassive black holes and brings into question the environments of these black holes. D9 was ...

An international team of researchers led by PD Dr Florian Peißker has found the first binary star in the immediate vicinity of the supermassive black hole Sgr A* (Sagittarius A star) at the ...

but further analysis revealed it to be a binary pair. The stars reside within the S-cluster, a group of high-speed stellar bodies that whip around Sgr A* under its immense gravitational pull.
