Jets blasting from supermassive black holes cause gas to cool and fall toward that cosmic titan in a cosmic feeding process.

In 2022, the team looked through observations of the black hole taken by the European Space Agency's XMM-Newton, a space-based observatory that detects and measures X-ray emissions from black ...

Astronomers have been monitoring the black hole for years, primarily since 2018 when the mass was observed changing its properties with a major X-ray outburst. Between 2022 and 2024, astronomers ...

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 ...

Scientists have created the first-ever 3D maps of star-forming molecular clouds near the Milky Way's supermassive black hole, ...

This suggests that NGC 5084 is host to a supermassive black hole tipped on its side, and scientists think it could be evidence of a galactic collision in NGC 5084’s recent past.

These sources, known as ultra-luminous X-ray pulsars (ULXPs), are neutron stars typically less massive than black holes. The list of known ULPs is still relatively short; thus, studying objects of ...

In 2022, the team looked through observations of the black hole taken by the European Space Agency’s XMM-Newton, a space-based observatory that detects and measures X-ray emissions from black ...
