Black Hole
A black hole is a region of spacetime where gravity is so strong that nothing, including light or other electromagnetic waves, has enough energy to escape it. The theory of general relativity predicts that a sufficiently compact mass can deform spacetime to form a black hole. The boundary of no escape is called the event horizon. Although it has a great effect on the fate and circumstances of an object crossing it, it has no locally detectable features according to general relativity. In many ways, a black hole acts like an ideal black body, as it reflects no light. Moreover, quantum field theory in curved spacetime predicts that event horizons emit Hawking radiation, with the same spectrum as a black body of a temperature inversely proportional to its mass. This temperature is of the order of billionths of a kelvin for stellar black holes, making it essentially impossible to observe directly. Objects whose gravitational fields are too strong for light to escape were fi ...

List Of Black Holes
This list of black holes (and stars considered probable candidates) is organized by mass (including black holes of undetermined mass); some items in this list are galaxies or star clusters that are believed to be organized around a black hole. Messier and New General Catalogue designations are given where possible. Supermassive black holes and candidates * 1ES 2344+514 * Ton 618 (this quasar has possibly the biggest black hole ever found, estimated at 66 billion solar masses) * 3C 371 * 4C +37.11 (this radio galaxy is believed to have binary supermassive black holes) * AP Lib *S5 0014+81 (said to be a compact hyperluminous quasar, estimated at 40 billion solar masses) 17:53:24 GMT. * APM 08279+5255 (contains one of the largest black holes, estimated at 10-23 billion solar masses; previous candidate for largest) * Arp 220 * Centaurus A * Fornax A * HE0450-2958 * IC 1459 * Messier 31 (or the Andromeda Galaxy) * Messier 32 * Messier 51 (or the Whirlpool Galaxy) * Mess ...

List Of Most Massive Black Holes
This is an ordered list of the most massive black holes so far discovered (and probable candidates), measured in units of solar masses (), approximately . Introduction A supermassive black hole (SMBH) is an extremely large black hole, on the order of hundreds of thousands to billions of solar masses (), and is theorized to exist in the center of almost all massive galaxies. In some galaxies, there are even binary systems of supermassive black holes, see the OJ 287 system. Unambiguous dynamical evidence for SMBHs exists only in a handful of galaxies; these include the Milky Way, the Local Group galaxies M31 and M32, and a few galaxies beyond the Local Group, e.g. NGC 4395. In these galaxies, the mean square (or root mean square) velocities of the stars or gas rises as ~1/r near the center, indicating a central point mass. In all other galaxies observed to date, the rms velocities are flat, or even falling, toward the center, making it impossible to state with certainty tha ...

List Of Nearest Known Black Holes
This is a list of known black holes that are close to the Solar System, which Earth is part of. It is thought that most black holes are solitary, but black holes in binary or larger systems are much easier to detect. Solitary black holes can generally only be detected by measuring their gravitational distortion of the light from more distant objects. As of February 2022, only one isolated black hole has been detected, OGLE-2011-BLG-0462, around 5,200 light-years away. For comparison, the nearest star to the Sun is about away, and the Milky Way galaxy is approximately 105,000 light years in diameter. List See also * List of black holes * List of most massive black holes * Lists of astronomical objects * NGC 3201 – a globular cluster with many black holes * NGC 7727 – a galaxy with the closest confirmed binary black hole A binary black hole (BBH) is a system consisting of two black holes in close orbit around each other. Like black holes themselves, binary black h ...
