An article published in the journal “Nature Astronomy” reports the discovery of a probable dormant black hole in the Large Magellanic Cloud, one of the dwarf galaxies satellite of the Milky Way. A team of researchers spotted it in the VFTS 243 system after a thorough examination of a binary system located in the Tarantula Nebula in which a candidate was identified to be tested in the search for black holes. Six years of observations conducted with ESO’s VLT allowed to rule out other possible explanations for the nature of the objects studied. An interesting conclusion is that the black hole discovered is the result of a collapse of the parent star that occurred without a supernova.
