What Happens to a Neutron Star That Surpasses the TOV Mass Limit?
Most theorists believe that a neutron star that surpasses the Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff (TOV) mass limit will collapse directly into a…

How is the “Picture” of the Sagittarius A* Black Hole Made From Radio Telescope Observations?
By combining the signals from multiple telescopes radio astronomers are able to produce images or “pictures”, such as the…

Is Light Affected by the Gravitational Field of a Black Hole?
Yes. Light is redshifted to longer wavelengths when it interacts with a black hole. This redshifted light, though, travels…

Can Radio Astronomy Measurements Distinguish Between Black Hole and Neutron Star Tidal Disruption Events?
I don’t believe that radio astronomical measurements can distinguish between neutron star and black hole tidal disruption events. I…

Can One Measure How Much a Black Hole’s Mass Has Increased Over Time?
The amount of mass that a typical black hole consumes over time is much smaller than its total mass,…
