Einstein Probe Detects Rare Black Hole Shredding a White Dwarf
The Einstein Probe’s detection of EP250702a, a high-energy cosmic explosion, provides evidence of an intermediate-mass black hole consuming a white dwarf star. Unlike standard gamma-ray bursts, this event produced X-ray emissions roughly a day before gamma-ray bursts, a sequence identified by researchers at the National Astronomical Observatories of China. Why does the EP250702a event change … Read more
