Scientists have discovered that some supermassive black holes rotate much more rapidly than expected. The discovery came as ...

Rapid X-ray oscillations detected near the innermost orbit of a supermassive black hole could indicate the presence of a nearby orbiter such as a white dwarf ...

Researchers said on Thursday that they had discovered twin-lobed radio jets they suspect were formed when the universe was ...

Astronomers have been monitoring the black hole for years, primarily since 2018 when the mass was observed changing its properties with a major X-ray outburst. Between 2022 and 2024, astronomers ...

"Our measurements imply that the supermassive black hole mass is 10% of the stellar mass in the galaxies we studied." Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), astronomers have discovered ...

Scientists Claim That Gravitational Waves Could Retrace the Origins of Black Holes in Dense Stars Black holes have always ...

If you want to describe a supermassive black hole’s characteristics, there are two important numbers to use. One is its mass and the other is its spin rate. Some black hole spin rates are thought to ...

Recent research has focused on understanding the inequalities that govern the relationship between black holes' mass, angular momentum, and other physical properties, particularly in the context ...

But it wasn't clear whether this was caused by an "intermediate mass" black hole (IMBH), weighing a hundred thousand times the mass of the sun, or a cluster of "stellar mass" black holes ...

Rather than relying on a cheek swab or a little blood, however, these cosmic DNA tests utilize tiny ripples in the fabric of ...

Black holes and their archaeology The results of the SDSS Survey of mass measurements of hundreds of black holes were a surprise, according to Fries. That's because the spin rates reveal something ...
