Answer: Tiny newfound 'Unicorn' is the closest known black hole to Earth. 'The Unicorn' lies a mere 1,500 light-years from us and is just three times more massive than the sun. The nickname has a double meaning. Not only does the black hole candidate reside in the constellation Monoceros ("the unicorn"), its incredibly low mass about three times that of the sun makes it nearly one of a kind. "The Unicorn" has a companion - a bloated red giant star that's nearing the end of its life. That companion has been observed by a variety of instruments over the years, including the All-Sky Automated Survey and NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite. Jayasinghe and his colleagues analyzed that big dataset and noticed something interesting: The red giant's light shifts in intensity periodically, suggesting that another object is tugging on the star and changing its shape. The team determined that the object doing the tugging is likely a black hole - one harboring a mere three solar masses, based on details of the star's velocity and the light distortion.
Answer:
Researchers have dubbed it “The Unicorn,” in part because it is, so far, one of a kind, and in part because it was found in the constellation Monoceros – “The Unicorn.” The findings were published on April 21, 2021, in the journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society..
