The Hubble and Chandra space telescopes are hunting for rogue black holes wandering through dwarf galaxies, which could provide a fossil record of how supermassive black hole growth in the early ...
Observations of a distant quasar reveal that supermassive black holes may suppress star formation across intergalactic distances.
Supermassive black hole binaries form naturally when galaxies merge, but scientists have only confidently observed a very few of these systems that are widely separated. Black hole binaries that ...
New research suggests that the heart of the Milky Way may be dominated by a dense clump of dark matter rather than the ...
