Reanalysis suggests 'Phoebe' is a variable star, not a primordial black hole
A reanalysis of data from the Dark Energy Camera suggests that the object known as "Phoebe" is a variable star, not a primordial black hole as previously thought. Researchers found that changes in its brightness are due to natural stellar variations rather than the presence of a black hole. The findings, published on arXiv, provide a more accurate understanding of the object's nature.
