For the first time, NASA Chandra X-ray telescope has been used to discover a pair of black holes in dwarf galaxies that are ...

A pair of quasars that existed when the universe was only 3 billion years old has been spotted by the Hubble Space Telescope.

aims to within the next decade send a fleet of three space probes into orbit to study gravitational waves, or distortions in space-time caused by violent events such as the collision of black holes.

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 gravitational wave recoil kicks which can eject black hole merger remnants from their birth clusters are also modelled with the code. The collision pathways of massive stars and the formed SMBH ...

While systems like those are not massive enough to develop black holes, in this case, the MPA study shows that the gravity of the galaxy could drive the stars to a head-on collision. These collisions ...

Multiple NASA telescopes recently helped scientists search the sky for supermassive black holes—those up to billions of times heavier than the sun. The new survey is unique because it was as ...

An artist's concept of the supermassive black hole's mid-infrared flare. Image: CfA/Mel Weiss Astronomers have detected a mid-infrared flare from the supermassive black hole at the heart of the ...

Scientists have found that supermassive black holes self-grow by regulating the cooling of surrounding hot gas, forming warm gas filaments that they consume. This discovery enhances the ...

Black holes aren't just gorging themselves on whatever cosmic material is readily available—they're preparing those meals for themselves. Data from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory reveals that ...

"Our measurements imply that the supermassive black hole mass is 10% of the stellar mass in the galaxies we studied." Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), astronomers have discovered ...
