In his new paper, Professor Jonathan Tan, an astrophysicist at the University of Virginia and the Chalmers University of Technology, proposes that Population...
In a new paper published in the journal iScience, an astrophysicist from Fudan University discusses the possibility of sending a nanocraft to a black hole...
Astronomers have identified and measured the most massive black hole to date, which tops out at a mass of 36 billion solar masses. This ultramassive black...
Using data from the 10-m space radio telescope RadioAstron and a network of 27 ground-based observatories, astronomers have detected an unusual ribbon-like...
The newly-discovered intermediate-mass black hole, named NGC 6099 HLX-1, resides in a compact star cluster on the outskirts of the elliptical galaxy NGC...
Using twin detectors of NSF’s Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO), astrophysicists with the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA (LVK) Collaboration...
The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope shot this image of UGC 11397, a barred spiral galaxy that is hosting an actively growing supermassive black hole.
This...
In a new paper published in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, astronomers from the University of Leicester describe for the first...
New research by physicists from the University of Oxford, Johns Hopkins University and the Institute of Astrophysics in Paris shows that collisions between...
Intense radiation from a quasar in one of these galaxies alters the gas properties in the other galaxy and dampens its ability to form new stars, according...
This supermassive black hole was discovered thanks to the newly-identified tidal disruption event AT2024tvd, an astronomical phenomenon in which a star...
In new research, astronomers used NASA’s IXPE (Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer) to observe a highly relativistic jet emanating from the blazar BL...
Highly ionized neon gas detected at the center of the spiral galaxy Messier 83 by the Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) aboard the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb...
In general relativity, a gravitational white hole is a hypothetical region of space that cannot be entered from outside. It is the reverse of a black hole...
Astronomers using the MUSE instrument at ESO’s Very Large Telescope (VLT) have detected supermassive black hole-driven winds in the barred spiral galaxy...
2MASX J23453268-0449256 (J2345-0449 for short), an extremely massive, rapidly rotating, jet-launching spiral galaxy approximately 947 million light-years...
Black holes may transition into white holes, ejecting matter and even time back into the Universe, according to a new study by physicists from the University...
The mass of the supermassive black hole in the center of the Large Magellanic Cloud, a small satellite galaxy of the Milky Way, is about 600,000 solar...
