The size and spin of black holes can reveal how and where they were born, and gravitational waves offer a way to decode this information like a cosmic DNA test.

critical phenomena in gravitational collapse, the initial value problem of general relativity, and relativistic astrophysics. Research in gravitational physics is currently being conducted in JILA.

This creates a gravitational pull so strong that not even light can escape. They are created when giant stars collapse, and perhaps by other methods that are still unknown. Black holes fascinate both ...

Recent discoveries by the James Webb Space Telescope reveal that supermassive black holes were present much earlier than ...

Edwards studies stars that are forming deep within molecular clouds in the galaxy. The gravitational collapse of rotating, denser-than-average "cores" within a molecular cloud results in the creation ...
