Astronomers have discovered that a quasar’s spectral energy distribution isn’t affected by its brightness, challenging traditional theories and emphasizing the role of accretion disk…
Researchers confirm the spin of the M87 galaxy’s supermassive black hole by observing the wobble in its jet, using two decades of data from global…
Mysterious and inescapable, black holes rank among the most extraordinary entities in the universe. Scientists at HITS, Germany, have predicted that the ‘chirp’ noise generated…
The M87 galaxy’s black hole exhibits an oscillating jet, confirming its spin, as deduced from a two-decade study aligning with Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity…
Utilizing sophisticated simulation technology, researchers from UNIGE, Northwestern University, and the University of Florida have shed light on the enigmatic nature of these celestial “beasts.”…
New research reveals that supermassive black holes consume surrounding material faster than previously believed. This insight, derived from high-resolution simulations, could explain why quasars flare…
Massive burst of X-rays detected by University of Leicester astronomers indicates material three times the mass of Earth burning up in a black hole. A…
Black holes are one of the most mysterious and fascinating phenomena in the Universe. Researchers suggest the presence of several black holes in the Hyades…
Scientists, using NASA’s Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory, have identified a black hole in a distant galaxy that appears to be recurrently consuming parts of a…
Astronomers uncover details of a massive star, ASASSN-14li, devoured by a black hole, challenging previous theories and hinting at new methods for cosmic exploration. Researchers…
The James Webb Space Telescope has unveiled images that show, for the first time, starlight from two colossal galaxies with actively growing black holes, known…
For the first time, a global team of scientists has uncovered the magnetic field transport processes in the accretion flow of a black hole, as well…
James Webb Space Telescope survey reveals fewer supermassive black holes than presumed. A University of Kansas survey of a swath of the cosmos using the…
Black holes with exceptionally large masses—over a million times the mass of the Sun, known as supermassive black holes (SMBHs)—are commonly found in the universe…
A giant black hole 290 million light-years away destroyed a large star and threw its pieces into space. NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory and ESA’s XMM-Newton…
In 1929, astronomers discovered that galaxies are streaming away from us and each other. They interpreted this observation that the universe is expanding. However, when…
An international team of scientists reports the first detection of a quasi-periodic oscillation signal in the radio band from a Galactic black hole system. An…
