... Bad Astronomy . ... Bitesize Astronomy . ... Last week's Snack talked about how black holes can affect the environment around them in such a way as to be very bright . ... It's a common misconception that black holes always have matter swirling into them. ... As this matter gets closer and closer to the black hole it piles up and a large, fairly flat disk forms. This is called the accretion disk , because matter from this disk accretes (that is, falls in) on the black hole. ... 2008 Phil Plait. ...

... If alone, a black hole would indeed appear quite black, but many black hole candidates are part of binary star systems . So how does a black hole binary system look different from a neutron star binary system ? ... The difference is caused by the hot gas from the ADAF disk falling through the event horizon of the black hole and disappearing - gas that would have emitted much light were the central object only a neutron star. ...

Astronomy suffers from the `Static Illusion' - because astronomical changes usually occur over intervals much longer than a human lifetime they appear static. This illusion affects our understanding of how astronomical objects work. ...

... Early on, our interest in chirping analysis functions was motivated by a different kind of chirping phenomenon: chirping due to perspective. ... Our interest in radar, however, drew us toward processes that are more accurately analyzed by linear-FM chirplets. ... We have also constructed other chirplet transforms, such as a three-parameter Doppler chirplet representation that models a source producing a sinusoidal wave, while moving along a straight line (e.g. a train whistle). ...

... SS433 is a close binary system, one star is a supergiant, a second one is a black hole. ... Even a black hole cannot accept such an enormous mass flux, a supercritical accretion disk appears, all the excess gas glows up to several tens of thousands degrees and is ejected off the disk with enormous velocities. ... SAO researchers have found an evidence of the supercritical accretion onto a black hole in SS433, which follows from a brightness variability of the SS433 disk. ...
