Astronomers report that the active galactic nucleus at VV 340a is producing a wobbling outflow jet that challenges the ...

Active galactic nuclei, energetic and luminous regions powered by an accreting supermassive black hole at the center of some galaxies, can launch a jet that drives a gas outflow, shaping star ...

A wobbling jet from a supermassive black hole in a nearby galaxy is blasting gas out at a rate high enough to suppress star formation.

Morphological structure of the galactic outflow in VV 340a. This artistic rendering illustrates a multi-phase galactic ...

Powered by supermassive black holes swallowing matter in the centers of galaxies, active galactic nuclei are the most powerful compact steady sources of energy in the universe. The brightest active ...

In a groundbreaking discovery, astronomers have identified a unique trio of merging galaxies known as J1218/1219+1035, which is located approximately 1.2 billion light-years away from Earth. This ...

Active galactic nuclei — the bright, noisy cores of galaxies where supermassive black holes accrete huge quantities of matter — are the most luminous stable objects in the sky. But they may be far ...

The Hubble Space Telescope has delivered a striking new portrait of the spiral galaxy NGC 4102, revealing a central engine classified as an Active Galactic Nucleus (AGN). Located approximately 56 ...
