Black holes
An article from the Foundations series by Greg Egan. Foundations is a series of articles, first published in the magazine Eidolon, on some of the theories of twentieth-century physics that have most influenced modern science fiction. However, these are not essays on the history or philosophy of science; their aim is to show how the central idea of each theory leads to detailed, quantitative predictions of real physical effects.

Dying Star Reveals More Evidence For New Kind of Black Hole
Scientists using NASA's Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer have found a doomed star orbiting what appears to be a medium-sized black hole – a theorized "in-between" category of black hole that has eluded confirmation and frustrated scientists for more than a decade.
 
NASA's Chandra Finds Black Holes Stirring Up Galaxies
Black holes are creating havoc in unsuspected places, according to a new study of images of elliptical galaxies made by NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory. The discovery of far-reaching explosive activity, due to giant central black holes in these old galaxies, was a surprise to astronomers.
 
VLBA Reveals Closest Pair of Supermassive Black Holes
Astronomers using the National Science Foundation's Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) radio telescope have found the closest pair of supermassive black holes ever discovered in the Universe -- a duo of monsters that together are more than 150 million times more massive than the Sun and closer together than the Earth and the bright star Vega.

A brief introduction to black holes structure and properties at the Journey Through the Galaxy website.
 
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.
 
Spinning Black Hole Pushes the Limit - Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics press release
A Center for Astrophysics-led team has measured a stellar-mass black hole spinning so rapidly - turning more than 950 times per second - that it pushes the predicted speed limit for rotation
