Natarajan's research explores how black holes form, grow, and shape the universe, along with mapping dark matter in cosmic structures. Black holes are expected to form via two distinct channels.

Black holes are points in space that are so dense ... in a theoretical process aptly known as spaghettification. In their final stages, enormous stars go out with a bang in massive explosions ...

Scientists have been modeling how supermassive black holes form when two smaller black holes ... Now, scientists may have finally found a solution to this "final parsec problem" — and it may ...

The gas and dust swirl together at high speeds, forming the accretion disk that feeds the black hole. The rapid movement of the material causes it to heat up, releasing energy in the form of ...
