Emerging Supermassive Black Holes Choke Star Formation
Located on the Chajnantor plateau in the foothills of the Chilean Andes, ESO’s APEX telescope has been busy looking into deep, deep space. Recently a group of astronomers released their findings regarding massive galaxies in connection with extreme times of star formation in the early Universe. What they found was a sharp cut-off point in [...]

Future Studies Will Extend Census of Middleweight Black Holes
Editor's note: In her article, " Goldilocks Black Holes ," Jenny E. Greene discusses the search for black holes with masses ranging from roughly 1,000 suns to a million suns--middleweights on the cosmic scale. These intermediate-mass holes may provide clues about the origins of galaxies and the supermassive black holes (millions to billions of suns in mass) found at galaxy centers. Astronomers ...

Astronomers Find Link To Early Universe And Today's Massive Galaxies
[ Video 1 ] | [ Video 2 ] Astronomers have found the strongest link ever between the most powerful bursts of star formation in the Universe, and the most massive galaxies found today. The galaxies saw the birth of new stars cut short, leaving them as massive galaxies of aging stars today, according to the new research. The astronomers also found that the emergence of supermassive black holes ...
