Astronomers have used the NASA/ESA James Webb Space Telescope to confirm that supermassive black holes can starve their host galaxies of the fuel they need to form new stars.
Using the James Webb Space Telescope astronomers have observed a supermassive black hole "killing" its galaxy by starving it of the material needed to birth new stars.
Astronomers have used the NASA/ESA James Webb Space Telescope to confirm that supermassive black holes can starve their host galaxies of the fuel they need to form new stars.
Using the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers have uncovered that supermassive black holes can exhaust the resources necessary for star formation in their host galaxies, effectively starving them. This was observed in a galaxy similar…
Astronomers have used the NASA/ESA James Webb Space Telescope to confirm that supermassive black holes can starve their host galaxies of the fuel they need to form new stars. The results are reported in the journal Nature Astronomy.
For decades, a black hole with as much spin or charge as possible, given its mass, was considered mathematically impossible. A new proof reveals otherwise.
Researchers in China have uncovered a low-mass black hole within the elusive mass-gap, defying previous scientific consensus. By combining radial velocity and astrometry, they identified this black hole in a wide binary system, challenging…
The current generation of gravitational wave detectors could "hear" supernovas over 65 million light-years away, helping scientists determine if a dying star creates a black hole or a neutron star.
