The Search for Black Hole Teenagers
The discovery of medium-sized black holes allow us to trace the history of the giant black holes in the center of galaxies.
Small, but Mighty! A galaxy robbed of its stars but contains a supermassive secret.
Today’s paper explores a rather interesting galaxy which seems to have a black hole much more massive than expected, and whether it’s next-door neighbour had anything to do with it…!
Monsters in miniature
Could feedback from active galactic nuclei play an important role in the smallest of galaxies?
Meet the AAS Keynote Speakers: Dr. Ryan Hickox
This year, the Chandra X-ray Observatory is celebrating its 20-year legacy. Dr. Ryan Hickox of Dartmouth College will explain how the resulting discoveries have shaped our view of the high-energy universe in his plenary talk at #AAS233.
Feeding black holes, up close and personal
Do we really understand how black holes grow? Using new methods to run high resolution simulations, the authors of this paper investigate the evolution of gas near a supermassive black hole – and their results have serious implications for the models commonly used in cosmological simulations.
What’s the powerhouse of the AGN?
Hint: It’s not mitochondria.
