Infrared images reveal how black holes affect the space around them
Galactic nuclei images reveal how supermassive black holes interact with their surroundings using infrared telescopes.
U of A researchers capture sharpest images yet of a supermassive black hole
A team that included University of Arizona astronomers captured the infrared image of the supermassive black hole using a Large Binocular Telescope Interferometer.
Revolutionary Telescope Captures Sharpest View Ever of a Supermassive Black Hole in Action
Astronomers have captured the most detailed infrared images yet of an active galactic nucleus (AGN), using the Large Binocular Telescope Interferometer. This breakthrough enables unprecedented insight into the energetic phenomena surrounding supermassive black holes at the centers of galaxies,
Astronomers capture unprecedented view of supermassive black hole in action
Active galactic nuclei are supermassive black holes at the center of certain galaxies. As matter falls into these black holes, enormous amounts of energy are released, making active galactic nuclei, or AGN,
Astronomers capture the highest resolution images ever taken of a black hole
Active galactic nuclei (AGN) are among the most energetic phenomena observed in the universe. These luminous objects, powered by supermassive black holes at the centers of galaxies, release staggering amounts of energy as matter spirals into their intense gravitational pull.
Mysterious Pulsing X-Rays From a Nearby Black Hole Baffle Astronomers
MIT astronomers have been captivated by the strange behaviors of a supermassive black located 270 million light-years away, which mysteriously lost and then regained its corona in 2018. Recently, it e
