Astronomers find closest black hole to Earth
... pair and a distant star could also provide clues about the violent cosmic mergers that release gravitational waves powerful enough to be detected on Earth. Some astronomers believe that the mergers can happen in systems with a similar...

First inactive stellar-mass black hole found in a globular cluster
...is not the case — our discovery is the first direct detection of the gravitational effects of a stellar-mass black hole in a globular cluster. This finding helps... — vital in the context of understanding gravitational wave sources,” Giesers concludes.

Newly discovered black holes suggests thousands more in our galaxy
... finding confirms a major theory and the implications are many," Hailey said. "It is going to significantly advance gravitational wave research because knowing the number of black holes in the centre of a typical galaxy can help in better predicting...
