One of the MASTER Global Robotic Net telescopes (MSU) located on Tenerife (Spain, Canary Islands) helped the scientists observe the gamma-ray burst caused by the…
Signals suggest a black hole emits a jet of energy proportional to the stellar material it gobbles up. On November 11, 2014, a global network…
A team of astrophysicists and planetary scientists has predicted that Neptune-like planets located near the center of the Milky Way galaxy have been transformed into…
A research team has published a new study led by Pat Roche, professor of astrophysics at The University of Oxford, and Chris Packham, associate professor…
In the real world, your past uniquely determines your future. If a physicist knows how the universe starts out, she can calculate its future for…
Astronomers have the “all-clear” for an exciting test of Einstein’s Theory of General Relativity, thanks to a new discovery about S0-2’s star status. Up until…
A new simulation of supermassive black holes–the behemoths at the centers of galaxies–uses a realistic scenario to predict the light signals emitted in the surrounding…
The biggest black holes in the Universe are growing faster than the rate of stars being formed in their galaxies, according to two new studies…
High-resolution observations with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) imaged a rotating dusty gas torus around an active supermassive black hole. The existence of such…
The galaxy Arp 220 is ultraluminous (defined as having more than about 300 times the luminosity of our own galaxy) and, at a distance of…
An International team with participation by researchers with close links to the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias and the University of La Laguna, obtains the…
The existence of large numbers of molecules in winds powered by supermassive black holes at the centers of galaxies has puzzled astronomers since they were…
New research shows the first evidence of strong winds around black holes throughout bright outburst events when a black hole rapidly consumes mass. The study,…
Astronomers using ESO’s MUSE instrument on the Very Large Telescope in Chile have discovered a star in the cluster NGC 3201 that is behaving very…
Researchers using a suite of telea supermassive black hole blowing huge bubbles of hot, bright gas — one bubble is currently expanding outwards from the…
Statistical analysis of supermassive black holes suggests that the spin of the black hole may play a role in the generation of powerful high-speed jets…
A rapidly growing black hole — known as an active galactic nuclei — has been seen turning off and then on again. This supermassive black…
