Black holes may leak more energy to their surroundings than previously suspected — and the faster these voids spin, the more ...

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

How does the universe work? What are black holes, neutron stars, and dark energy? This video attempts to explain astrophysics ...

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 ...

A computer-based study is simulating the behaviour of massive cosmic jets in a virtual universe to help us understand how ...

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

Some of the warm gas flows back into the black hole, fuelling more outbursts and continuing the cycle. One key discovery was that the brightness of hot gas is linked to the brightness of warm gas ...

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 ...
