Scientists have uncovered the existence of a binary star system close to the black hole near the center of the Milky Way galaxy, confirming a hypothesis made by happenstance nearly a century ago ...

Binary star found near our galaxy's supermassive black hole. ScienceDaily . Retrieved January 4, 2025 from www.sciencedaily.com / releases / 2024 / 12 / 241217130904.htm ...

D9, as the newly discovered binary star is called, was detected just in time: it is estimated to be only 2.7 million years old, and the strong gravitational force of the nearby black hole will ...

The discovery, which relied on data from the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope, marks the first time that a binary star system has been observed in the vicinity of a ...

Using data from ESO’s Very Large Telescope (VLT) and Keck telescope, astronomers have discovered a binary star system in the S star cluster close to Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the ...

Astronomers have discovered the first binary stars orbiting a supermassive black hole. The stellar pairing in question orbits the cosmic titan at the heart of the Milky Way, Sagittarius A*.

For the first time, researchers have spotted a binary star — a system of two stars that orbit each other — near the Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*) supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy. Binary ...

Binary star systems proved a lot of information to astronomers through their motion. For example, the speed and distance of the orbits tell us about the masses of the stars. For a single star, the ...
