Richard S. McClintock

Richard S. McClintock was an American astrophysicist renowned for his research on black holes and X-ray binaries—systems where a black hole pulls material from a companion star. His work helped scientists better understand the behavior of these extreme objects and the physics of high-energy astrophysics. McClintock's contributions have advanced our knowledge of how black holes grow and influence their surroundings, making him a significant figure in the field of astronomy.
