Black holes . ... Black holes are objects for which the gravitational attraction is so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape from it. ... The material inside a black hole is concentrated into a singularity: a single point of infinitely high density where space and time are infinitely distorted. ... The existence of such black holes has been inferred in cases where the black hole pulls gas of a companion star that orbits around it. ... Gravity's Fatal Atraction: Black Holes in The Universe. ...

... STScI-PRC00-37 HUBBLE CAPTURES AN EXTRAORDINARY AND POWERFUL ACTIVE GALAXY Resembling a swirling witch's cauldron of glowing vapors, the black hole-powered core of a nearby active galaxy appears in this colorful NASA Hubble Space Telescope image. ... The larger outer ring extends off the image and is in the plane of the galaxy's disk. ... The black hole and its accretion disk are expelling gas out of the galaxy's disk and into its halo (the region above and below the disk). ...

In 1974 astronomers discovered a bright radio source at the center of the Milky Way Galaxy, in the direction of the constellation Sagittarius. It was an unknown quantity then, but astronomers now know that the object is a supermassive black hole causing a maelstrom of activity at the galactic center. ...

... Our Sun is part of a huge wheel-shaped collection of stars. ... Astronomers have long suspected it was a very massive black hole, and that every galaxy had such a central mass, created early in the history of the universe. ... However, unless that object happens to be headed directly at the black hole (a relatively small target) it will just swing around and fly away again, like a comet making a pass at the Sun. The velocity acquired in falling towards the black hole also helps it escape. ...

... Research . ... A rare hybrid morphology radio galaxy . ... In this project we will be able to investigate the environmental effect on star formation and galaxy evolution in individual galaxies falling into the cluster through radio observations of active galactic nuclei (AGN). Current models of galaxy evolution regulate the star formation rates within the simulated galaxies by invoking radio-mode feedback from AGN. ... Julie.Banfield@anu.edu.au . ...

The "eye" at the center of the galaxy is actually a monstrous black hole surrounded by a ring of stars. In this color-coded infrared view from Spitzer, the area around the invisible black hole is blue and the ring of stars, white. ... The ring around the black hole is bursting with new star formation. ...

... A radio galaxy is a galaxy that emits an unusually big amount of energy at radio wavelengths. ... Inside of each galaxy with an active nucleus (radio galaxies are among them) there must be a system of a "central machine" responsible for the colossal amount of the emitted energy from radio to gamma ranges. ... Sometimes a radio source in an active galaxy may flare again if the needed conditions appear (a new portion of matter would fall into the furnace of the "central machine"). ...
