Active galactic nuclei are commonly observed in large galaxies, but what about small galaxies? Today’s paper explores the effects of the universe’s largest and loudest black holes in the universe’s smallest galaxies.
How are some of the heaviest elements on the periodic table created? Today’s authors look at how mergers between black holes and neutron stars could form these heavy metals!
Astronomers are actively researching how massive black holes arise in the early universe. Is it possible for small black holes to grow fast enough to become one of these supermassive black holes? Today’s authors think there’s a chance!
Do all galaxies need dark matter? Astronomers think they may have discovered a dark-matter-free dwarf galaxy hiding in the tentacle of a jellyfish galaxy!
Recent findings from JWST are challenging our understanding of how galaxies made the universe largely transparent. How can we further improve our models of this era in the universe’s history?
