The Infinity Galaxy might be home to a newborn supermassive black hole that formed directly from a gas cloud instead of a star. Could this help reveal how these objects formed in the early universe?
A deep dive into the classic paper on how massive single stars die, and what it means for the evolution of the universe.
In today’s Astrobite, we revisit the possibility of binary black hole mergers in AGN disks creating flares, which could have interesting implications for multimessenger astronomy and cosmology.
Some astronomers are discovering black holes that appear to be too big for their galaxies. Discover how rapid growth could be the cause!
Active Galactic Nuclei produce some of the most dazzling fireworks in the Universe. Let’s dissect one to figure out what powers them!
What can it tell us about how black holes might have first formed?
