Scientists Observe First Known Triple Black Hole System's Demise

Scientists may have discovered the first known triple black hole system, involving a supermassive black hole and a pair of merging black holes, initially detected through gravitational waves in 2019. The system's complex dynamics suggest the smaller black holes were influenced by a hidden supermassive black hole, providing new insights into black hole formation and interactions.

Astronomers Find Evidence of Third Compact Object Behind Binary Black Holes

Researchers from SHAO have found evidence suggesting that a binary black hole merger (GW190814) occurred in the gravitational influence of a third compact object, possibly a supermassive black hole, indicating that binary black holes may often be part of more complex systems. This discovery was made by analyzing gravitational wave signals for line-of-sight acceleration effects, providing new insights into black hole formation and evolution.
