  • AstroSat has made a significant discovery regarding the black hole binary source Swift J1727.8-1613.
  • In the black hole X-ray binary system (BH-XRB), a black hole and its companion star are gravitationally bound.
  • The black hole pulls matter from its companion, forming a bright accretion disk.
  • As this matter heats up, it emits high-energy X-rays, which help scientists detect and study these black holes.
  • A black hole is a region in space where the gravitational pull is so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape from it.
  • AstroSat is the India’s first dedicated multi-wavelength space observatory.
