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?
Do We Have the Abell-ity to Find A Recoiling Black Hole in A2261-BCG?
What powers the core of the bright galaxy A2261-BCG? A massive black hole in the middle? A recoiling black hole? The authors of today’s paper use X-ray data to try to find out!
Where can Black Holes that “should not exist” live?
