For the first time, scientists see black holes swallowing neutron stars

Text Size: A+ New Delhi: In a first, an international team of scientists, including researchers from India, have confirmed the detection of a collision between a black hole and a neutron star, by analysing the gravitational waves created by two such events in January last year. Gravitational waves are ripples in the space-time fabric created by extreme events, such as the collision of two blackholes or two neutron stars. While gravitational waves from several such collisions have been detected since the first discovery in 2015, they have all been a result of collision between similar cosmic bodies. However, now the team has determined that these waves detected last January were a result of a neutron star being swallowed whole by its black hole partner.
