Nearly every massive galaxy hosts a supermassive black hole at its center. When two galaxies merge, their black holes can form a binary pair, meaning… Read More »Massive binary black hole system poses challenge to merger theory
An extraordinary scientific endeavor led by astronomers at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, spearheaded by Dr. Lukas Furtak and Prof. Adi Zitrin, has unveiled a… Read More »James Webb Space Telescope detects extremely red supermassive black hole in early universe
European astronomers recently conducted extensive Very Long Baseline Interferometric (VLBI) observations on the radio jet structure of PKS 2215+020, a powerful quasar. The acquired VLBI… Read More »VLBI observations reveal PKS 2215+020 as a Blazar with Superluminal Jet Motion
Astronomers have discovered one of the most powerful eruptions from a black hole ever recorded. This mega-explosion billions of years ago may help explain the… Read More »Mega black hole eruption linked to “beads on a string” star cluster formation
Using the European Southern Observatory’s (ESO) Very Large Telescope (VLT), astronomers have characterized a bright quasar, finding it to be not only the brightest of… Read More »Astronomers discover fastest-growing black hole yet, powered by the most luminous object
For a long time, our understanding of the universe’s first galaxies leaned heavily on theory. The light from that age only reached us after traveling… Read More »Hydrodynamical simulations reveal role of metallicity in early galaxy formation
