Giant black holes are cosmic ‘Frankensteins’ built by mergers, new study reveals
A new research has revealed the true origin of the Universe’s biggest black holes, addressing one of the most significant missing link problems in modern astrophysics.
New analysis of gravitational waves suggest that unlike other types of black holes, the most massive ones are not born from stellar collapse, but rather through hierarchical mergers inside densely packed star clusters.
The researchers from Cardiff University studied 153 detections from the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA catalog and identified two different populations of black........
