Discovery of relativistic jets blowing bubbles in the central region of the Teacup galaxy
When matter falls into supermassive black holes in the centers of galaxies, it unleashes enormous amounts of energy and is called an active galactic nuclei (or AGN). A fraction of AGN release part of this energy as jets that ...

Study sheds more light on the diffuse radio emission from the galaxy cluster Abell 1213
European astronomers have observed a galaxy cluster known as Abell 1213 using various spacecraft and ground-based facilities. The observations unveiled essential information about the diffuse radio emission from this source. ...
Astronomers observe lone distant galaxy that appears to have consumed all of its former companions
Over 13 billion years ago, the first galaxies in the universe formed. They were elliptical, with intermediate black holes (IMBHs) at their centers surrounded by a halo of stars, gas, and dust. Over time, these galaxies evolved ...
