A rare example of three active galactic nuclei in three merging galaxies has been discovered using two radio telescopes: the VLA and the VLBA. The triple system is cataloged as J1218/1219+1035. This targeted study, conducted by a team of researchers at various radio frequencies, has identified only the third case of a triple active galactic nucleus, the first confirmed through radio observations.

Flaring black hole whips up ultra-fast winds
"
"Leading X-ray space telescopes XMM-Newton and XRISM have spotted an extraordinary blast from a supermassive black hole. In a matter of hours, the gravitational monster whipped up powerful winds, flinging material out into space at eye-watering speeds of 60 000 km per second."

Six years since ALMA crucially helped the Event Horizon Telescope take the first image of a supermassive black hole in a distant galaxy… you can relive it all below!

The Large Magellanic Cloud is a satellite galaxy of our own, and like ours, it has a Super Massive Black Hole at its centre, holding the whole show together

An article published in the journal "Nature Astronomy" reports the results of the study of the dwarf galaxy cataloged as LID-568, which has at its center a supermassive black hole that is devouring materials at a rate that is more than 40 times faster than its theoretical limits.

#astronomy #M87 #EHT #SMBH 5 years ago, the first photos of the area surrounding a supermassive black hole were published https://english.tachyonbeam.com/2019/04/10/the-first-photos-of-the-area-surrounding-a-supermassive-black-hole/

A new image from the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) collaboration has uncovered strong and organized magnetic fields spiraling from the edge of the supermassive black hole Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*).

@Lazarou I think I’ll take a stroll...

Even MORE things you can do with a Super Massive Black Hole, as if the 'Million Earth System' wasn't enough habitable area for you.
Witness...the Birch Planet!

ALMA captured, for the first time, the accretion flow _towards_ a supermassive black hole. Identifying this flow had long been a challenge, due to the small scale of these regions and the complex gas motion near galactic centers. They saw where the foreground molecular gas absorbed the bright light coming from the Active Galaxy Nucleus, and evidence of its movement.
