Thanks to gravitational waves, we have detections of black holes mergers. Now imagine they are embedded in AGN disks, can you guess what’s going to happen to them? The authors of today’s paper can tell you if your guess was correct!
Many astronomers believe that AGN activity is responsible for suppressing star formation. However, it appears that maybe the past behaviour of AGN is what’s really to blame.
Active Galactic Nuclei are some of the brightest objects in the Universe. But what is responsible for switching on these supermassive engines?
Today’s paper describes how we may have seen light from two black holes colliding with each other.
We report on Day 4 of the virtual winter AAS meeting.
In today’s bite, Keir reports on a search for multi-AGN systems. How prevalent are they? And what can they tell us about black hole mergers?
