X-ray From Shredded Stars Provide Close-up of 'Killer' Black Hole
A new x-ray reverberation mapping technique was used by astronomers to study tidal disruptions. Tidal disruption happens when a star falls into a black hole that then leads to its death. Stellar materials are caught into the spinning disc formed outside the black holes. This behavior can now be observed using the new x-ray technology.
