Science An international team of researchers has detected a binary star orbiting near Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black ...

Using the Gemini North telescope, astronomers have detected the largest black hole jet ever seen in the early universe. It's ...

An international team found dark matter dominating the halos of two supermassive black holes in galaxies 13 billion light ...

Astronomers have, for the first time, watched the moment a feeding supermassive black hole at the heart of a distant galaxy spat out a jet of material at one-third of the speed of light.

The black hole, with an official name of 1ES 1927+654, is located in the distant constellation Draco. Astronomers have been monitoring the black hole for years, primarily since 2018 when the mass ...

Image: CfA/Mel Weiss Astronomers have detected a mid-infrared flare from the supermassive black hole at the heart of the Milky Way galaxy for the very first time, and it’s shedding new light on ...

One possible answer is inside-out growth: As star formation within a galaxy expands outward from the nucleus, less gas is being deposited by supernovas near the accreting black hole, and it ...

This discovery explains how massive galaxy clusters evolved into the dormant, giant elliptical galaxies seen today, shedding light on the co-evolution of black holes and galaxies. Galaxy clusters ...

The centers of galaxy clusters contain the universe’s most massive galaxies, which, in turn, contains gigantic black holes ranging in mass from millions to tens of billions of times that of the ...

"Interestingly, the quasar powering this massive radio jet does not have an extreme black hole mass compared to other quasars." Astronomers have detected the largest black hole-launched jet ever ...
