Searching in infrared finds a big collection of black hole star destruction

Tidal disruption events (TDEs), where supermassive black holes tear apart stars, are thought to occur once every 10,000 to 100,000 years in any given galaxy.
An international team of researchers discovered 18 TDEs that previous searches had missed by checking galaxies in the infrared rather than the optical or X-ray bands.

Murderous Black Hole Goes on Rampage, Leaves Path of Wrecked Stars in Its Wake

New NASA research confirms a supermassive black hole is actively destroying stars, linking tidal disruption events to quasi-periodic eruptions.

Two Black Holes are Giving the Cosmos a Fright

A black hole is interacting with stellar debris, causing violent emissions and showcasing complex cosmic interactions not previously understood.

Astronomers Simulated How A Supermassive Black Hole Annihilates A Star - And It Is A Must-See

Tidal disruption events reveal surprising characteristics in black hole interactions with stars, displaying unexpected emission and temperature profiles.
