The fl hole concept was developed by the German astronomer Karl Schwarzschild (1873–1916) in 1916 on the basis of Albert Einstein’s theory of general relativity.
Chandra also found that Andromeda’s fl hole emits a much lower ratio of X rays to radio waves than does the Milky Way’s fl hole, and that the Milky Way’s fl hole is not as bright as astronomers had predicted.
For fl holes of sufficiently small mass it is possible for one member of an electron-positron pair near the horizon to fall into the fl hole, the other escaping The resulting radiation carries off energy, in a sense evaporating the fl hole.

 Andromedia Galaxy & Constellation
The Andromeda Galaxy (also known as Messier Object 31, M31, or NGC 224; older texts often call it the Andromeda Nebula) is a giant spiral galaxy in the Local Group, together with the Milky Way galaxy.
The Andromeda Galaxy is easily visible to the naked eye in a truly dark sky; however, such a truly dark sky is available only in relatively few, isolated areas very far from population centers and sources of light pollution.
In Greek mythology, Andromeda was the daughter of Cepheus and Cassiopeia, king and queen of Ethiopia.

The evidence was gleaned by observing the motions of stars near the galaxy's center, explains Eliot Quataret, an astronomer at the Institute for Advanced Studies in Princeton, New Jersey.
It reveals several bright spots within the Andromeda spiral, including one at the galaxy's center -- just at the place where astronomers would expect to see the so-called accretion disc, which contains material that is plunging into the fl hole.

Even though a fl hole is invisible, astronomers can detect fl holes in the centers of galaxies from their gravitational effect on the millions of stars that orbit closely around them.
Although Andromeda, known as M31, is the closest major galaxy nearest ours, it is so distant that it takes about 2 million years for light from Andromeda to reach us.

Best of all, however, is the title track, which recalls a whimsically stoned Gordon Lightfoot fresh from calming from a giggle fit.

 Chandra Press Room :: Chandra Finds a "Cool" Black Hole at the Heart of the Andromeda Galaxy :: January 14, 2000
In its first look at the Andromeda Galaxy (M31), NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory has found that the gas funneling into a supermassive fl hole in the heart of this galaxy is a "cool" million degrees Celsius.
One of these sources was at the previously determined position of the central supermassive fl hole, which has the mass of 30 million suns.
The best previous X-ray pictures were not sharp enough to clearly distinguish the X-ray source associated with the fl hole in the center of the Andromeda Galaxy nor did they give information about the temperature of the source.

 Spaceflight Now | Breaking News | Andromeda yields cache of stellar black holes
Though fl hole candidates in LMXBs have been identified in galaxies beyond the Milky Way by astronomers employing other techniques, they have all been ones that fluctuate markedly, by a factor of 10 or much more.
The technique the group have developed to identify LXMBs containing fl holes involves looking at the characteristics of the X-ray emission for a particular kind of variability indicating that material is being transferred at a relatively low rate for the system.
Black holes are stars so compact that they are smaller than their "event horizon"; nothing that gets nearer to the fl hole than this can ever escape - not even light.

 Center of the Andromeda galaxy
But Thomas Statler, Ohio University assistant professor of physics and astronomy, and his colleagues have studied new Hubble images of the center of Andromeda that may offer a simple explanation for the double cores.
Their findings, published in the February issue of The Astronomical Journal, support a model that suggests stars in Andromeda are orbiting the galaxy's fl hole in a lopsided path and are piling up -- sort of a cosmic traffic jam -- at the section of the orbit that is farthest away from the fl hole.
The double structure of the nucleus was established by Hubble in 1993, but it wasn't until December 1995 that the observations with Hubble's spectrograph, first planned by Ivan King of the University of California at Berkeley, were done.

 Chandra Press Room :: Press Advisory :: Closer Look Reveals Andromeda's Black Hole Not As "Cool" As Believed
The proximity of this source to the nucleus, and its extraordinarily low temperature relative to other X-ray sources in M31, led the astronomers to associate it with the supermassive fl hole located at the center of M31.
These results were extraordinary because they could not be explained by the standard models developed for supermassive fl holes in galaxies like the Milky Way and Andromeda.
The globular clusters, which are visible on both Hubble and Chandra images, can be used as a cross-check to determine the position of all of the X-ray sources near the supermassive fl hole to an accuracy ten times greater than before.
