Black holes can actively regulate the material they consume, using powerful jets of gas blasted into space, according to a ...

Supermassive black holes are seen as sources of wanton cosmic destruction, but there may be more to their powerful influence ...

It's no secret that black holes are some of the weirdest objects in space. Their disks are fluffy like cake, and diving into ...

Enabled by supercomputing, University of Pretoria (UP) researchers have led an international team of astronomers that has ...

More massive stars than the Sun have a very different life cycle and follow the right hand ... rightarrow{neutron~star,~or~a~black~hole~(depending~on~size)}\) After the main sequence period ...

Supermassive black holes can fuel their own growth by cooling and recycling gas, creating a continuous cycle of feeding and ...

These filaments then flow toward the black hole, feeding it, and the cycle repeats. Brightness Link: The brightness of the hot gas in the center of galaxy clusters is directly related to the ...

Observations from NASA's Chandra X-ray telescope and the VLT have revealed jets blasting from supermassive black holes cause gas to cool and fall toward them in a cosmic feeding process.

Supermassive black holes are often regarded as sources of wanton cosmic destruction, but there may be more to their powerful influence than first meets the eye. Researchers studied data from the ...

These massive black holes were found to be exerting influence over their surroundings in ways that cause hot gas to cool before flowing back toward them. The self-sustaining cycle ensures the ...
