Black holes born in star systems may spin backward, new study finds

A study in The Astrophysical Journal examines how black holes in isolated pairs could acquire spins that are tilted relative to their orbit or point in the opposite direction. The results suggest these features are not necessarily evidence that a pair formed through close encounters in a dense stellar environment.
