A team of astronomers studying the brightest galaxy in galaxy cluster Abell 402 has identified what may be the most massive ...

Using the Spektr-RG (SRG) space observatory, astronomers from the Russian Academy of Sciences have investigated dozens of X-ray sources in all-sky surveys, which resulted in the detection of 11 new ...

"We were totally amazed when we noticed this mass and size range of planet formation." ...

A research team from the Yunnan Observatories of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has recently published a study in The Astrophysical Journal that examines the inner and outer broad-line regions (BLRs) ...

Active galactic nuclei (AGNs) are powered by accretion onto supermassive black holes and exhibit variability across the electromagnetic spectrum on timescales ranging from hours to years. Analysing ...

Active galactic nuclei (AGN) represent the energetic central regions of galaxies, powered by accretion onto supermassive black holes. A hallmark of many AGN is the presence of fast, ionised winds ...

Fewer supermassive black holes may undergo growth spurts than astronomers had suspected. Every known large galaxy hosts a gargantuan black hole at its center. Some of those behemoths experience bursts ...

A new paper entitled “Evolutionary Paths of Active Galactic Nuclei and Their Host Galaxies,” published on August 17, 2023, in Nature Astronomy, provides critical new insights on the co-evolution of ...

Supermassive black holes at the hearts of active galaxies may be churning out a lot of the universe’s high-energy neutrinos. “I would say that they can be the major contributor,” says astronomer ...

Researchers propose that active galactic nuclei (AGN) near supermassive black holes could host Jupiter-mass planets, forming ...

Looking ahead: Future Euclid observations will enable scientists to watch how galaxy collisions spark bursts of star formation, fuel shrouded black holes, and unleash energetic feedback. According to ...
