Astronomers have used the LOFAR telescope array to create the largest radio survey of the cosmos, revealing 13.7 million ...

Learn how supermassive black holes may be suppressing star formation in nearby galaxies.

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 ...

Outflows of matter are general features stemming from systems powered by compact objects such as black holes, active galactic nuclei, pulsar wind nebulae, accreting objects such as Young Stellar ...

In a groundbreaking development, scientists have detected the ringing of black holes following a collision event, confirming the decades-old predictions of Stephen Hawking and Albert Einstein about ...

Astronomers have confirmed the first isolated stellar-mass black hole drifting through the Milky Way, located roughly 5,000 ...

For a few brief nights each year, you get a rare chance to watch a monster blink. The Event Horizon Telescope collaboration ...

An artist's concept of a tidal disruption event (TDE), which happens when a star passes close to a supermassive black hole. The gravity of the black hole pulls material from the star and launches a ...

Scientists have traced a 3,000-light-year-long cosmic jet streaming out from the first black hole ever imaged to its likely source point with the help of "significantly enhanced coverage" from the ...

What if the Milky Way’s central “black hole” isn’t a black hole at all? A new model proposes that an ultra-dense dark matter core could mimic its gravitational pull.

Rochester Institute of Technology was represented at a symposium celebrating 50 years of relativistic astrophysics and research exploring quasars, black holes, exploding stars and colliding galaxies ...

(PhysOrg.com) -- A survey of distant galaxies using the Hubble Space Telescope has put another nail in the coffin of the theory that galaxy mergers are the main trigger for turning quiescent ...
