IceCube uses huge columns of very pure water buried below the ice-sheet in Antarctica to shield the neutrino detectors from the background radiation and cosmic rays. Astronomers have observed stars in other galaxies orbiting particularly bright regions containing highly concentrated gas and emitting unusually large amounts of radiation. Every seconds, billions pass enables us to detect them. How Big Are the Largest Black Holes and How Do Astronomers Detect Them? Written by: However, they can still be indirectly detected through their interaction with matter around their boundaries. The reason they took so long to detect is that they do not interact very much with matter. Ultraviolet (UV)-visible spectrometers are used to analyze the interactions between radiation and matter in the UV-visible region of the electromagnetic spectrum. For example, gas and dust around a black hole emit X-rays as they spiral inwards. Presumably a similar principle applies to weakly-interacting dark matter particles. They have no electrical charge, As a consequence of how little neutrinos interact with matter, they can pass through the Earth essentially unimpeded. Some physics theories suggest that dark matter is made of WIMPS (weakly interacting massive particles), a class of particles that are their own antimatter partner particles. Begin to interact with each other and self-annihilate, producing a characteristic positron energy signature that the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer 2, aboard the International Space Station, may have recently detected (see this AmericaSpace article). When matter and According to MIT's Samuel Ting, a physicist and the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer's principle investigator, the first results will be published in two weeks, and “it won't be a minor discovery”; the paper has so far passed 30 revisions and is finally set for publishing. Essentially, the interactions and collisions within the accretion disk convert the momentum energy of the orbiting matter into radiation.
