A study led by the Center for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian (CfA) has captured the explosive interaction between a black hole and a nearby massive star (blue), as depicted in this artist's conception. As the separation between the star and the black hole decreased, the black hole's intense gravity pulled gas and dust off of the star into a disk. Before the star was able to swallow the black hole, gravitational stress from the black hole triggered the star's explosion. Collisions between the stellar explosion and shells of material from earlier interactions located above and below the disk powered a dramatic re-brightening event. This artist’s graphic shows the massive star and black hole before the supernova explosion, when the star’s shape is stretched by gravitational forces from the black hole. Credit: Melissa Weiss/CfA

This artist’s concept visualizes a kilonova – an explosion that happens when two neutron stars or a neutron star and a black hole collide and merge. When these collisions happen, a fraction of the resulting debris is ejected as jets, which move near the speed of light. The remaining debris produces hot, glowing, neutron-rich clouds that forge heavy elements, like gold and platinum. Researchers will mine data from NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, which will survey the same areas of the sky every few days, to identify kilonovae. Roman’s extensive data will help astronomers better identify how often these events occur, how much energy they give off, and how near or far they are.
