Black holes exert a tremendous influence on their surroundings, meaning that when they spin, they literally drag the very fabric of space and time around with them. That means nothing can sit still ...

An international scientific team has revealed for the first time the magnetic field transport processes in the accretion flow of a black hole and the formation of a "MAD"—a magnetically arrested ...

Gravity causes matter to clump together, forming everything from stars to planets. Accretion disks form when material swirls around a central object due to conserved angular momentum. Magnetic fields ...

Interacting binary stars, a class of stellar systems consisting of two gravitationally bound stars, exhibit a rich diversity of phenomena driven by mass transfer and angular momentum exchange. In many ...
