AGN disks might connect black holes across the mass spectrum in one bustling gaseous environment. As the black holes drift inward, their interactions may set the stage for both EMRIs and IMRIs in the same system.
Hot DOGs in space are more exciting than they sound. Let’s dissect the brightest one to learn how they hide black holes and some of the most extreme conditions in the universe.
Today’s authors use FLAMINGO simulations to probe the tension between different observational methods of estimating cosmological parameters.
Today’s authors consider the way AGN jet shape changes our measurements of blazar polarization.
When we don’t have spectra, we can estimate the distance to a quasar by calculating its photometric redshift. Today’s authors present a new way to use the ‘flickering’ of quasars to improve these distance estimates.
Giant black holes may have hatched from cosmic eggs. What happens when we find one on our doorstep?
