It's a massive black hole, dubbed Sagittarius A* (pronounced "Sagittarius a star"), weighing as much as 4.3 million suns. After taking an unprecedented image of the object in 2022, astronomers have now captured a remarkable new view of the black hole, revealing its powerful, twisting magneti...
Using machine learning, researchers have now created a much sharper portrait of the supermassive black hole at the center of the galaxy M87
The Event Horizon Telescope captured this image of the supermassive black hole in the center of the galaxy M87. (Image credit: EHT Collaboration) Black holes are some of the universe's most enigmatic and mysterious objects. The extremely dense and massive objects have such a strong gravitational...
A growing body of evidence, including observations that produced the first image of Sagittarius A*, is starting to reveal the inner workings of our Galaxy’s core.
black hole in GN-z11. Full size image However, it is possible that the local or low-zscaling relations do not apply for AGN at such early epochs. If we disregard the local virial relations and instead assume that the black hole in GN-z11 is accreting at the Eddington rate, then the...
"It's pretty amazing": First image of black hole at center of the Milky Way Three years after capturing the first image of a supermassive black hole in a galaxy 55 million light years away, astronomers have managed to "photograph" one closer to home. May 12, 2022 Soothing sounds...
Image of the galactic center. For the interferometric GRAVITY observations the star IRS 16C was used as a reference star, the actual target was the star S2. The position of the center, which harbors the black hole known as Sgr A*, with 4 million solar masses, is marked by the orange cr...
Full size image Black Hole-Galaxy Coevolution Another key finding in black hole studies is that of a correlation between the mass of SMBHs and some host galaxy properties, such as bulge luminosity, stellar mass, or stellar velocity dispersion (see review by, e.g., Kormendy and Ho2013), wh...
In this work we explore the properties of the spacetime around the Schwarzschild-like black hole in the Starobinsky–Bel–Robinson gravity throug
1. Black Hole Was Discovered By Karl Schwarzschild In 1916 Karl Schwarzschild | Image credit: Wikimedia Although objects with intense gravitational fields (from which light cannot escape) were considered in the 18th century, it was Karl Schwarzschild who gave the first modern solution of general re...
