Recent Discoveries of the Bizarre Flashing Object OJ 287
Unravel complex physics using observations spanning 150 years on OJ 287, one of the universe's most extreme objects. Discover how new simulations confirm the existence and bizarre mechanics of a super massive black hole binary system.
Short Summary
- Confirmed the existence and mechanics of a super massive black hole binary system far exceeding our Milky Way's central engine.
- Explained the recurring 12-year energy bursts as the smaller black hole plunging through the primary’s accretion disc.
- Provided observational confirmation, via jet curvature, that the secondary black hole gravitationally influences the primary's output.
- Modern simulations rigorously match observations, solidifying our understanding of extreme physics in this laboratory.
This discussion details recent astrophysical studies on the distant blazar OJ 287. We review the historical context, the theoretical model involving two orbiting black holes, and recent simulation results that solidify our understanding of its recurring massive energy flashes.

7:57 "Or a about the same in Kelvin", that understatement had me laughing out loud, thanks Anton.
Mobile user here, no glitch
I think Anton meant to say that the second black hole is 150 million solar masses, not 150 solar masses. A 150 solar mass black hole would be much smaller than our moon in volume. The event horizon would have a radius around 443 km.
I did work on this over a decade ago. Research Master's thesis. The Doppler beaming effects were known back then
My local Society (Torbay in Devon, UK) had a talk in September specifically about OJ287. The speaker Gary Poyner, an amateur astronomer, has been coordinating the BAAVSS international OJ287 observing compaign since 1994. He was also accredited as a co-author in a professional paper on the subject. Not often amateurs get credited at such level. Very interesting talk.
This one is really interesting and exciting! All that energy and how huge it is makes it mind blowing!! WoW!! 😮 🎉 😊 Thanks Anton!
Hello wonderful Anton, this is person
Thank you for actually being a wonderful person and teaching people, Anton. Your channel is must-watch material for my gf and me.
3:24 "All of this light is headed toward us at almost the speed of light" :D You mean, other kind of particles.
This is the most mind blowing video I've seen you make since I started binge watching your videos. The idea of two orbiting black holes with one of them crashing through the accretion disk is not a possibility I envisioned, and the fact that we are observing it happening is incredible. Even more so considering it will be gone in 10.000 years. Thank you for your amazing videos! As a non astronomer, I never read any scietific litterature on the subject so to have regular short format videos covering new research is amazing!
