In a recent study published in Astronomy and Astrophysical Letters, a team of researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) used various computer models to examine 69 confirmed binary black holes to help determine their origin and...
are two massive objects orbiting each other, with both having the ability to potentially collide – or merge – together, with another shared characteristic being black holes are sometimes born from the collapse of dying massive stars, also known as a supernova.
Since they initially orbited each other as binary stars, it is believed their spins and tilts should be aligned, as well. The real question is: What fraction of binary black holes originate from each respective method? Astronomers believe this answer lies in the data, specifically black hole spin measurements.
For the study, the researchers continuously tweaked a series of computer models to ascertain whether their results agreed with each model's predictions. Essentially, results were consistently altered based on the model's tweaks, meaning more data than the 69 confirmed binary black holes is likely needed to have more consistent results.
