When Two Black Holes Quarrel, a Third Rejoices
Put three supermassive black holes in one simulation and let them fight over the center stage. Will there be a survivor?
Do black holes hug each other in AGN disks?
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!
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.
Into the (Double) Void
Today’s authors discovered not one, but two supermassive black holes! And they’re the closest pair to Earth that we’ve ever detected.
Gobbling black holes and high energy neutrinos
Today’s paper describes the astrophysical origin of extremely energetic neutrinos.
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?
