It’s possible that these objects might be the primordial beginnings of the supermassive black holes found in the centers of ...
To dark matter and dark energy, add dark galaxies — collections of stars so sparse and faint that they are all but invisible. An artist’s depiction of hydrogen gas observed in the galaxy J0613+52, ...
They used high-resolution e-MERLIN and EVN (e-VLBI) observations of a radio source associated with Dyson Sphere candidate G, identified as part of Project Hephaistos. The radio source, VLASS ...
Like a parasite sucking the life from its host, an international group of scientists have determined that a supermassive black hole is starving a distant galaxy of essential materials to make new ...
New James Webb Space Telescope observations reveal that the galaxy GS-9209 had its star-forming power abruptly "quenched" by mysterious forces after millions of years of productivity. When you ...
Astronomers have spotted an apparent supermassive black hole snacking on a star 600 million light-years away, wandering through a galaxy with an even larger black hole at its core. The event, dubbed ...
WASHINGTON, March 6 (Reuters) - The Large Magellanic Cloud is a dwarf galaxy residing near our Milky Way, visible to the naked eye as a luminous patch of light from Earth's southern hemisphere and ...
This so-called tidal disruption event is the best way to spot these middle-mass black holes. A rogue, middle-mass black hole has been spotted disrupting an orbiting star in the halo of a distant ...
(Image credit: ESO/M. Kornmesser) Astronomers have discovered a pair of young stars near the supermassive black hole at the heart of our galaxy. And despite living so close to the cosmic behemoth, ...
High-speed gas shooting from the galaxy M87 is causing stars to go nova, a study suggests, and no one knows how. Alec Lessing, an undergraduate student at Stanford University, Michael Shara, an ...
An international team of astronomers has discovered the first tidal disruption event (TDE) producing bright radio emission ...
