Study Reports About Supermassive Black Hole with Indigestion

A multi-wavelength research on a pair of colliding galaxies has exposed the cause of a supermassive black hole's case of 'indigestion'. At the National Astronomy Meeting at the University of Hull, the research findings will be presented by Dr Hayden Rampadarath.

Fastest-Moving Stars in the Galaxy are Runaways from a Much Smaller Galaxy

A team of Astronomers have demonstrated that the fastest-moving stars in the galaxy are actually runaways from a much smaller galaxy in orbit around our own. These stars travel so fast that they are capable of escaping the Milky Way.

NASA's Hubble Space Telescope Captures Seyfert Galaxy with a Password Name

Not all galaxies have the luxury of possessing a simple moniker or quirky nickname. This impressive galaxy imaged by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope is one of the unlucky ones, and goes by a name that looks more like a password for a computer: 2XMM J143450.5+033843.

Researchers Use Noise Thermometry System to Make Highly Accurate Measurements of Boltzmann Constant

By measuring the random jiggling motion of electrons in a resistor, researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have contributed to accurate new measurements of the Boltzmann constant, a fundamental scientific value that relates the energy of a system to its temperature. NIST made one measurement in its Boulder, Colorado, laboratory and collaborated on another in China.
