Illustration of a black hole pulling material from a star. The gravitational pull of the intermediate-mass black hole (IMHBH, right) strips material from an orbiting nearby star. The material forms a rotating accretion disc around the black hole that heats up and produces electromagnetic radiation which can reveal the presence of the black hole. | |
