Astronomers Discover 19 New Quasars Using DESI Legacy Surveys Data
Using data from the DESI Legacy Surveys photometry catalog, 19 new quasars were identified, including strongly-lensed, dual, and projected types. Observations were carried out on October 15–16, 2023, at California's Palomar Observatory using the P200/DBSP instrument. Among the findings are two lensed quasars, J0746+1344 and J2121-0826, which exhi...

M87 Black Hole: Turbulent Plasma Dynamics and Feeding Process Revealed
M87*, the supermassive black hole in Messier 87, continues to captivate astronomers. EHT observations from 2017 and 2018 revealed turbulence in the accretion flow, with the plasma ring’s brightest region shifting due to gas dynamics. The study also uncovered a counter-rotating gas spiral feeding mechanism, refining understanding of black hole fee...

NASA Rockets Set to Journey Through Flickering, Disappearing Auroras
NASA is set to launch two groundbreaking rocket missions in January 2025 to unravel the mysteries of auroras. The GIRAFF mission will study fast-pulsating and flickering auroras, while the Black and Diffuse Aurora Science Surveyor mission will focus on dark auroral patches or "black auroras." By using advanced instruments to measure electron activi...

Astronomers Spot Hundreds of Hidden Supermassive Black Holes Using Infrared
Hundreds of hidden supermassive black holes have been identified using infrared observations, offering fresh insights into their role in galaxy formation. Researchers relied on data from NASA's Infrared Astronomical Satellite (IRAS) and the Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR) to detect emissions from black holes obscured by thick clouds ...

Astronomers Observe Black Hole Reactivate, Emitting Jets of Plasma
A supermassive black hole at the center of galaxy 1ES 1927+654 has been observed reactivating after a quiet period. Jets of hot gas were released from both sides of the black hole, surprising astronomers. Researchers speculate that a white dwarf star in close orbit may be interacting with the black hole, providing key insights into cosmic behavior....

Astronomers Discover Unusual X-Ray Oscillations From a Black Hole 100 Million Light-Years Away
A supermassive black hole 100 million light-years away is showing an unprecedented increase in X-ray oscillations, starting from 18-minute intervals and accelerating to 7 minutes in just two years. Astronomers believe a white dwarf, orbiting perilously close to the event horizon, is causing these flashes. The findings offer a glimpse into black hol...

Search for Elusive Missing Link Black Holes Continues as Omega Centauri Observation Turns Out to Be a Dud
The suspected intermediate-mass black hole in Omega Centauri has been reclassified as a cluster of stellar-mass black holes, according to a recent study. Unusual star movements within the dense cluster were explained using pulsar data, providing new insights into its core dynamics. This discovery reshapes theories about the elusive intermediate-mas...

Astronomers Seek Binary Supermassive Black Holes in Galactic Centers
Astronomers have detected possible binary black holes at the centres of galaxies, using light patterns from active galactic nuclei as key indicators. The study of PG 1553+153, in particular, shows evidence of a 20-year variation, pointing to a system of two supermassive black holes. If confirmed, this could provide new insights into galaxy formatio...
