Interpretation of x-ray spectra emerging from a black hole

[HAL9000]

To physically recreate the conditions around a black hole as closely as possible, the researchers used Sandia's Z machine – the planet's most powerful X-ray generator.

Their aim was to test something called resonant Auger destruction – the notion that under a black hole's immense gravity and intense radiation, highly energised iron electrons don't emit light in the form of photon
