Active Galactic Nuclei have a history of causing trouble
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.
How to jump start a supermassive black hole
Active Galactic Nuclei are some of the brightest objects in the Universe. But what is responsible for switching on these supermassive engines?
Did we just see two black holes merge?
Today’s paper describes how we may have seen light from two black holes colliding with each other.
Astrobites at AAS 237: Day 4
We report on Day 4 of the virtual winter AAS meeting.
Searching for Multi-AGN Mergers
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?
Exploring the Host Galaxies of Changing-Look AGN
In today’s bite, Keir reports on a search for Changing-look AGN. What about their host galaxies causes this change?
