A newly published study in The Astrophysical Journal has revealed the presence of a previously undetected supermassive black ...

"This rare event provides an opportunity for astronomers to observe a black hole's behavior in real time," said astronomer ...

Scientists have discovered key conditions needed for a stellar black hole to create plasma jets. Their findings show that when superheated gas material experiences a rapid shrinkage towards the black ...

While it's much smaller than the largest supermassive black holes detected, it's still a whopper considering how early in the ...

New observations from the Hubble Space Telescope now confirm that the object’s mass is so large that it must be a black hole, Sahu’s team reports in the April 20 Astrophysical Journal.

Although we know that supermassive black holes (millions of times the mass of our sun) lurk at the center of most galaxies, their very nature makes them difficult to spot and study. In contrast to ...

Discovery of extreme quasi-periodic eruptions in a newly accreting massive black hole. Nature Astronomy , 2025; DOI: 10.1038/s41550-025-02523-9 Cite This Page : ...

The scientists studied a black hole system consisting of a stellar-mass black hole and a sun-like star orbiting each other. In this system, 5 or 6 jets occur over a period of about 20 days, making ...
