A study by the Indian Institute of Astrophysics investigates the potential for dwarf spheroidal galaxies, small galaxies shaped like ellipsoids and gas-poor, to contain black holes. This research explores the broader implications for understanding galaxy evolution and the growth of black holes throughout the universe. The study implements dynamic models
Twin Radio Galaxies
Researchers have successfully reproduced the complex morphology of the recently discovered Twin Radio Galaxies (TRGs), enhancing the understanding of black-hole-driven jets and their interactions with host galaxies. This study reveals the dynamics of these jets, their energy deposition, and their influence on the surrounding galaxy environment. The research, led by
black holes
A new study reveals that supermassive black holes and their high-speed jets work together to suppress star formation in galaxies. Researchers from the Indian Institute of Astrophysics found that intense radiation and gas outflows from black holes can regulate galactic growth, leading to low star-formation rates. The study analyzed over
black holes
For the first time, astronomers have observed two black holes orbiting each other in a quasar known as OJ287. This discovery was made using a network of telescopes, including the RadioAstron space telescope, which provided unprecedented resolution. The findings reveal the dynamics of the black holes and their potential to
