…massive star at the end of its life) have been identified in X-ray binaries. In these binaries, the X-ray emission is due to the matter lost by the star orbiting a black hole when it is sucked into the black hole. When the black hole does not have a companion close enough to steal matter from it, it does not emit any radiation, hence the extreme difficulty in detecting them.   On 16th April, the team of space mission Gaia announced in Astronomy &…
