The team behind new research on the topic suggests that measuring whether gravitational waves from black hole mergers are right- or left-handed can tell us if the Cosmological Principle — an ...

This discovery, published in The Astrophysical Journal, suggests that 35% of supermassive black holes are heavily obscured, a percentage that challenges current models of galaxy growth. The ...

Traditional models that rely on gas accretion and mergers with other black holes and galaxies fall short of explaining how these black holes could have grown so massive in such a short time.

"Interestingly, the quasar powering this massive radio jet does not have an extreme black hole mass compared to other quasars." Astronomers have detected the largest black hole-launched jet ever ...

JWST finds massive black holes in early galaxies, defying models Some black holes hold 10% of their galaxy’s stellar mass Study suggests rapid black hole growth in dense environments ...

Scientists added, however, that the black ... holes, equaling 450 million suns. The discovery was made by the Gemini North telescope, located in Hawaii. Advertisement Funded by the U.S. National ...

These structures offer crucial clues about how black holes interact with their environment. The results support a model where outbursts from the black holes trigger hot ... while the Smithsonian ...

The finding was reported in a paper ... There's a universe full of black holes out there, spinning merrily away—some fast, others more slowly. A recent survey of supermassive black holes reveals ...

Supermassive black holes are often regarded as sources of wanton cosmic destruction, but there may be more to their powerful influence than first meets the eye. Researchers studied data from the ...

A recent study has uncovered a possible explanation for the rapid formation of supermassive black holes in the early universe. By proposing a new physics model, researchers suggest that dark ...
