Collaboration has detected the merger of the most massive black holes ever observed with gravitational waves using the LIGO ...

Astronomers have just made a major breakthrough in understanding the black hole at the center of our galaxy. Using artificial intelligence and millions of distributed computing simulations, they've ...

A new University of Leicester study shows how the uncontrolled growth of a distant supermassive black hole (SMBH) is revealed by the ejection of excess matter as a high velocity wind.

A galaxy, SDSS1335+0728, has awakened after 20 years of inactivity. Located 300 million light-years away, it shows significant brightness changes. Its black hole, one million times the Sun's mass ...

Astronomers have identified a supermassive black hole located on the outskirts of a galaxy 600 million light-years from Earth, where it was observed consuming a nearby star.

Second supermassive black hole is a long way from the galaxy’s core.

A study based on the trajectory of nine fast-moving stars observed at the fringes of the Milky Way provides strong evidence for the existence of a supermassive black hole inside the Large ...

The strange behavior of hypervelocity stars suggests a nearby dwarf galaxy must contain a supermassive black hole. If so, a collision with the Milky Way is inevitable.

Detailed analysis showed that massive galaxies with active supermassive black holes exhibit no sign of star formation, meaning that their growth is severely hampered by supermassive black holes.

The researchers suggest that the supermassive black hole may be pushing out these super-fast and cool winds, ripping away the gas needed for stars to form and starving the galaxy to death.

Distant galaxy has no more stars being born as a supermassive black hole strips away all the gas needed to forge them.

Using JWST’s instruments, Cambridge University astrophysicist Francesco d’Eugenio and his colleagues caught a supermassive black hole red-handed, slowly starving the galaxy to death.
