Intergalactic Projectiles - Physical Review Focus article |
| When two black holes merge, they make waves--powerful gravitational waves. And if the merger spews these waves preferentially in one direction, it can shoot the merged hole the other way at high speed. In an upcoming issue of
Physical Review Letters, two teams use computer simulations to show that the recoil speed for a pair of "supermassive"
black holes could reach 4000 kilometers per second--ten times faster than previous estimates and fast enough to escape from even the biggest galaxy. |
