  1. Turbulent black hole coronae can produce observed X-ray spectra
    Simulations show turbulent black hole coronae generate two-temperature plasmas with extended nonthermal ion distributions while producing observed X-ray spectra.
  2. Lorentz violation changes black hole disk images and polarization
    Observable signatures of Lorentz violation in Hořava gravity revealed through black hole accretion disk images and polarization patterns, testable with future Event Horizon Telescope observations.
  3. Black hole merger spins point near perpendicular directions
    Analysis of gravitational-wave data reveals that merging black holes predominantly exhibit near-perpendicular spin orientations, suggesting most form in triple-star systems.
  4. Magnetic charge changes orbits and waveforms near regular black holes
    Study explores how magnetic charge in regular black holes alters gravitational waveforms from periodic orbits, offering new constraints on black hole properties through gravitational wave.
  5. Supermassive stars may match JWST little red dot spectra
    Supermassive star models reproduce spectral signatures of JWST little red dots, suggesting these compact sources may be progenitors of the first supermassive black holes.
