Black Holes in Our Universe
Started July 19, 2024
Abstract or project description
A black hole is a singularity with such immense gravity that it can suck in objects, and bring them to the event horizon where they will be frozen in time. This paper will consist of explanations of several variants of black holes, including stellar mass black holes, intermediate mass black holes, supermassive black holes, and primordial black holes. When an object approaches a black hole, it will be sucked into the accretion disk, where it will spin and emit waves ranging from radio waves up to x-rays, and afterwards will fall into the event horizon.To observe black holes, we can use particle jets of gamma rays that come from the accretion disk of a black hole in order to locate the black hole. We are also able to find unusual readings to trace a black hole’s location. We can also detect when two black holes are colliding, or when a black hole is sucking in another object.
