Located approximately 27,000 light-years (one light year equals approximately nine trillion kilometres) from Earth — relatively close when it comes to galactic black holes — Sag A* has an estimated ...
It’s neither fast nor food, but a spectacular object called HH 30 looks appetizing for astronomers in a new image from the ...
Scientists have detected emanating from the nucleus of a galaxy relatively close to our Milky Way flashes of X-rays gradually ...
Researchers using the Event Horizon Telescope have significantly advanced our understanding of the supermassive black hole at ...
These jets become elusive the farther back in time astronomers try to look because of the so-called cosmic microwave ...
Rapid X-ray oscillations detected near the innermost orbit of a supermassive black hole could indicate the presence of a nearby orbiter such as a white dwarf ...
"Interestingly, the quasar powering this massive radio jet does not have an extreme black hole mass compared to other quasars ...
A new form of black hole archeology, linking spin to gas and dust, has revealed that these cosmic titans spin faster than ...
By combining data from NASA’s IRAS and NuSTAR telescopes, scientists have uncovered more hidden supermassive black holes than earlier estimates suggested. Their findings indicate that over a third of ...
In NASA's latest survey, experts detected black holes hidden behind thick clouds of gas and dust and others that are not. Their study, published in the Astrophysical Journal, found that around 35% ...
It is frequently hypothesized that these jets are initiated by large-scale magnetic fields, originating either from the inner region of an accretion disc or from the rotation of the black hole itself ...
Such a discovery opens very important aspects regarding the complex relationship between black holes and the gas around them. Supermassive black holes generate emissions to regulate the cooling of ...
