In a galaxy, roughly once every ten thousand years, a star gets disrupted by the strong tidal forces of [a] central supermassive black hole. About half of the stellar debris continues on its original trajectory, while the other half becomes gravitationally bound and falls back towards the black hole. The accretion of this bound stellar material causes a short-lived flare of emission, known as a tidal disruption event (TDE). 3, record 4, English, - tidal%20disruption%20event

Le projet dénommé SIGMA(Système d’Imagerie Gamma à Masque Aléatoire) débuta dès 1983 sous la maîtrise d’œuvre du CNES [Centre national d’études spatiales], qui confia au CEA [Commissariat à l'énergie atomique et aux énergies alternatives] la réalisation de l'élément clef du télescope : la caméra à rayons gamma. [...] La finesse sans précédent de la caméra [braquée vers le centre de notre Galaxie] [...] n’ y confirma pas la présence d’un trou noir géant, mais découvrit une source gamma brillante décalée d’un degré par rapport au centre galactique. [...] Cette source est un système binaire constitué d’une étoile et d’un objet compact, probablement un trou noir. 1, record 15, French, - cam%C3%A9ra%20%C3%A0%20rayons%20gamma

Largeur des raies de la région à raies larges(BLR). L'élargissement des raies est dû à l'effet Doppler : les raies larges sont la preuve d’une vitesse importante. La région localisée à proximité du trou noir, où les vitesses des particules sont très importantes, est appelée région à raies larges(on utilise plutôt la dénomination anglaise, BLR pour Broad Line Region). À l'opposé, les régions situées loin du trou noir émettent des raies où l'élargissement Doppler est bien plus faible : on les appelle les régions à raies étroites, ou NLR(Narrow Line Region). Une partie des méthodes de détermination de la masse affirme que la région à raies larges(BLR) est liée par la gravitation au potentiel central du trou noir. Ainsi, la masse du trou noir peut être estimée à partir du rayon orbital et de la vitesse. 2, record 18, French, - r%C3%A9gion%20%C3%A0%20raies%20larges

Au voisinage de l'étoile HDE 226 868, dans la constellation du Cygne, se trouve une radiosource que l'on a baptisé Cygnus X-1 et qui émet un flux intense de rayons X. L'émission s’expliquerait par la présence d’un trou noir en rotation. Celui-ci aspirerait la matière gazeuse de l'étoile qui s’enroulerait autour du trou noir, formant un disque d’accrétion dépassant 10 millions de degrés près de l'horizon, et permettant l'émission de rayonnement X. 2, record 19, French, - disque%20d%26rsquo%3Baccr%C3%A9tion
