Mysterious black holes.

How black holes get larger is something that has puzzled scientists for a long time. Now, through data gathered by the use of the CSIRO's Parkes radio telescope, that question might have been, in part, answered for them.

Black Holes Don't Make a Big Splash

Throughout our universe, tucked inside galaxies far, far away, giant black holes are pairing up and merging. As the massive bodies dance around each other in close embraces, they send out gravitational waves that ripple space and time themselves, even as the waves pass right through our planet Earth.

Einstein@home has detected 24 new pulsars in Parkes data (see its home page). But, unfortunately, ESA has chosen to develop an X-ray telescpe ahead of eLISA, so that project is in doubt.

The Boinc project Einstein hasn't found any graitational waves so far.



Have they put the interferometers out in space or are they still using the terrestrial LIGO apparatus?? If so I doubt that they can be given enough isolation from ground based vibrations.

So far there are 4 interferometers, the 2 American LIGO, the French/Italian VIRGO near Pisa in Italy and GEO600 in Hannover, Germany. But they are all in an upgrade phase, hence not working. The LISA project tu put three satellites in space has been abandoned by NASA and now put on hold by ESA,.

Guts Of 'Mysterious' Black Hole Jets Discovered! They Are Super-Powerful

Julie's Link: http://zeenews.india.com/news/space/unusual-new-type-of-black-hole-quasar-discovered_888672.html

An international team of astronomers has revealed the guts of mysterious black hole jets. Jets are narrow beams of matter emitted out at high speeds from the core object, like a black hole.

Astronomers have long sought strong evidence that Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*), the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way, is producing a jet of high-energy particles. Finally they have found it, in new results from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and the National Science Foundation's Very Large Array (VLA) radio telescope.

The iceCUBE detector at the South Pole has detected 26 high energy neutrinos coming from beyond our Galaxy and with an energy one million times the energy of the neutrinos coming from the 1987A supernova in the Large Magellanic Cloud. This is the beginning of a new astronomy.

eerie...

Astroboffins have long been puzzled over the source of ultraluminous X-ray light in an arm of the Pinwheel Galaxy, just off the handle of the Big Dipper. While they could ascertain that the source, called ULX-1, was a system made up of a black hole and a star orbiting each other, they couldn't make the maths on its estimated mass and brightness add up.

... This BLACK HOLE just isn't BLACK AT ALL' snarl boffins


... a nearby black hole is not living up to its name at all by shining as brightly as it possibly can and showing scientists just how much more there is to learn about the astronomical phenomenon...


Also, our astronomical skies are not as unchanging as some religions would have us wish:

... 44-MEEELLION-star Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy

Anglo-Australian boffins have published a new survey of the northern sky that describes 44 million stellar objects and finds 250,000 have changed in the last 60 years...


All in colourful The Register irreverence!

I received a mail from the eLISA sponsoring group with this video. eLISA should be the new gravitational wave interferometer put in space by ESA, the European Space Agency, but it has been put in second rank after Athena, a new space X-ray telescope like NuSTAR.

Interesting read on Quantum entanglement:

http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2013/12/131203161549.htm

Recent research indicated that the characteristics of a wormhole are the same as if two black holes were entangled, then pulled apart. Even if the black holes were on opposite sides of the universe, the wormhole would connect them.
