An article published in the journal "Astronomy & Astrophysics" reports the discovery of 31 new primordial quasars, including the two oldest known so far. A team of researchers used observations conducted with ESA's Euclid space telescope as part of the Euclid Wide Survey to find quasars we see as they were when the universe was no more than 800 million years old.

The supermassive black holes at the centre of Galaxies are planet factories, churning out millions of Gas Giants.
I'm wondering how many of these core worlds have been flung out into the rest of the Galaxy, rogue planets travelling between the stars...

An article published in "The Astrophysical Journal Letters" reports evidence of a cosmic wind emanating from Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way. Mark D. Gorski and Lena Murchikova of Northwestern University used observations with the ALMA radio telescope and NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory to create a high-quality map of the cold carbon monoxide gas surrounding Sagittarius A*.

Two articles, one published in the journal "Nature" and one in the "Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society", report different aspects of a study of the supermassive black hole cataloged as Abell 2744-QSO1, or simply QSO1, indicating that it's older than its host galaxy. A team of researchers used observations with the James Webb Space Telescope to study QSO1 and measured its mass at about 50 million times the Sun's.

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.

An article published in the journal Nature Astronomy reports the results of a study of seven galaxy clusters that contain various supermassive black holes that offers evidence that outbursts generated at these black holes help cool the gas they feed on. Outbursts in the form of jets from the supermassive black holes cool the gas by forming thin filaments. Some gas will eventually flow back toward those black holes, triggering more outbursts,
