Black holes, like the one in this illustration, can spray powerful jets. S. Dagnello (NRAO/AUI/NSF), CC BY-SA One of the most powerful objects in the universe is a radio quasar – a spinning black hole ...

Researchers conducted innovative simulations of spinning black holes grounded in general relativity, which clarified that the ultraluminous accretion disk (i.e., gaseous spiral surrounding a black ...

To understand the mysteries surrounding black holes, researchers at Tohoku University have created a simulation of accretion disk turbulence that possesses the highest-resolution currently available.

LOFAR’s LoTSS-DR3 survey maps 13.7 million radio sources, revealing black hole jets, supernovas, galaxy clusters and new details about magnetic fields in the Milky Way and beyond ...

Black hole accretion processes remain at the forefront of astrophysical research, offering critical insights into how matter is captured by these extreme objects. Accretion occurs when gas, dust, and ...

An ancient, fast-feeding quasar is breaking the rules of how black holes consume matter and generate galaxy-shaping jets.

Spinning supermassive black holes put a wobble in their churning surroundings as they feed. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works.

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 the ...

Black holes are always fascinating, and a new simulation adds to their mystery. You likely did not previously associate them with fluffy angel-food cake, but researchers at Caltech recently put ...

Astronomers have revealed the James Webb Space Telescope's (JWST) sharpest-ever image of the area around a black hole. The spectacular view could help solve a decades-long mystery while reversing a ...
