Using the National Radio Astronomy Observatory's Very Large Array, astronomers have revealed for the first time the huge flow ...

Additionally, the quasar’s accretion disk does not show signs of excessive dust that might have skewed mass estimates, reinforcing the conclusion that early SMBHs were inherently massive from ...

the radio quasar. Radio quasars are the subclass of black holes that produce the most powerful energy and jets. You can imagine the black hole as a rotating sphere, and the accretion disk as a ...

the radio quasar. You can imagine the black hole as a rotating sphere, and the accretion disk as a disk with a hole in the center. The black hole sits in that center hole and rotates one way ...

Despite their prodigious luminosities, the important emission regions surrounding the supermassive black hole – the accretion disk and broad line region ... for building the modern picture of quasar ...

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope’s observations of what is thought to be the first ever recorded planetary engulfment event revealed a hot accretion disk surrounding the star, with an ...

The matter from a captured star, for example, would be spread into a hot, bright, rapidly spinning disk called an accretion disk. Current thinking is that QPEs are caused by an object (that could ...

ABSTRACT A fundamental component of models of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) is an accretion disk around a supermassive black hole. However, the nature of this accretion disk is not well understood, ...

We fit these spectra with models that incorporate the X‐ray heating of the O star and accretion disk. A systematic analysis of the UV continuum confirms the general picture of an O star that fills its ...

(THE CONVERSATION) One of the most powerful objects in the universe is a radio quasar – a spinning black hole spraying out highly energetic particles. Come too close to one, and you’d get sucked in by ...
