The tsunami doubled in intensity over rugged ocean ridges, amplifying its destructive power at ... the principal investigator in the NASA-funded study. "Researchers have suspected for decades that such 'merging tsunamis' might have been responsible for the 1960 Chilean tsunami that killed about 200 people ...

... variety of light because the objects form a maelstrom of hot debris when they collide. Merging black holes -- the types of events LIGO and its European counterpart, Virgo, have previously seen ... was a short gamma-ray burst. Together, we know that what we observed was the merging of two neutron stars, dramatically confirming the relationship." Within hours of the initial Fermi detection ...

... observations from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory suggest that the black hole collided and merged with another black hole and received a powerful recoil kick from gravitational wave radiation. "It ... was left behind. This picture is consistent with recent computer simulations of merging black holes, which show that merged black holes can receive powerful kicks from the emission of gravitational waves. There ...

... -rays as gas falls towards them and becomes hotter. When two equal-sized spiral galaxies merge, astronomers think it should result in the formation of a black hole pair and a ... , but good candidates have been difficult to find because the merged galaxy is expected to look so typical. "The two galaxies have merged without a trace of the earlier collision, apart from ... than about a million suns. Assuming a minor merger occurred, the black holes should eventually merge after about a billion years. Both of the supermassive black holes are heavily obscured by ...

... take an additional two billion years after the encounter for the interacting galaxies to completely merge under the tug of gravity and reshape into a single elliptical galaxy similar to the ... flattened pancake shape with most of the stars on nearly circular orbits. The galaxies' cores merge, and the stars settle into randomized orbits to create an elliptical-shaped galaxy." The space ...

The disturbance, produced by a pair of merging black holes, was captured by the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) facilities in Hanford ... as most likely a coincidence and unrelated to GW150914. Others have developed alternative scenarios where merging black holes could create observable gamma-ray emission. It will take further detections to clarify ...
