IN BRIEF Definition: Celestial objects in an intense gravitational field. Formation: Collapse of a massive star at the end of its life. Singularity: Central point where mass is concentrated. Dark matter and dark energy: Mysteries related to their presence around black holes. General relativity: Theoretical framework to study the properties of black holes. X-ray telescopes: … Read more
IN BRIEF Detection of dark matter: innovative approach based on Josephson junctions. Exploration of gravitational waves to identify dark matter. Search for axions, potential candidates for dark matter, via their conversion into photons. Clear strategies: to do, see oneself undone, or look for its shakes. Study of neutron stars, potential keys in the detection of … Read more
IN BRIEF Definition: Celestial objects with intense gravitational fields. Composition: Very compact, high mass/size ratio. Role: Impact on the growth of galaxies. Event horizon: Limit beyond which nothing can escape. Time travel: The gravity of a black hole allows for time dilation. Environment: Influence on galactic structures and their dynamics. Scientific research: Studies conducted to … Read more
IN BRIEF Star formation: Formation from the gravitational contraction of a nebula. Protostars: Clouds of gas that continue to contract to develop a star. Composition: Balls of gas mainly composed of hydrogen and helium. Process: Gravitational collapse of interstellar clouds. Stellar evolution: Life cycle encompassing the birth, evolution, and death of stars. Ongoing formation: About … Read more
