Supermassive black holes can fuel their own growth by cooling and recycling gas, creating a continuous cycle of feeding and ...
The passing gravitational waves “stretch or contract the universe by around 20 meters [about 65 feet] or so,” says Matthew ...
"Our measurements imply that the supermassive black hole mass is 10% of the stellar mass in the galaxies we studied." ...
New details have been discovered about M87*, the first black hole ever photographed, revealing its plasma, its brightness and ...
Within those two years, the fluctuation period ramped up from every 18 minutes to just seven minutes – the first-ever measurement of its kind around a supermassive black hole. If this signaled ...
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 ...
Observations from NASA's Chandra X-ray telescope and the VLT have revealed jets blasting from supermassive black holes cause ...
That's the conclusion of a team of scientists, who theorize that astronomers could be missing between 30% to 50% of feeding supermassive black holes, cosmic titans that have masses equivalent to ...
Recently, astronomers focused on a galaxy 270 million light years away, which hosts a supermassive black hole known as 1ES 1927+654. The black hole, researchers have now observed, has been ...
