Swift
J1745-26
It
is the name of newly discovered black
hole toward the centre of Milky
Way galaxy. It was discovered by
NASA's Swift satellite which
detected a rising tide of high-energy X-rays from a source toward the center of
our Milky Way galaxy. It is named after the coordinates of its position in the
sky. The nova is located a few degrees from the center of our galaxy toward the
constellation Sagittarius
An X-ray nova is a transitory X-ray source that
appears suddenly, reaches its emission peak in a few days and then fades out
over a period of months. The
outburst occurs when a torrent of stored gas suddenly rushes toward one of the
most compact objects known, either a neutron
star or a black hole.
