Evolution of Dwarf Galaxies is Governed by Strong Winds at Their Centers

A study by astronomers from the University of California, Riverside, has revealed that strong winds induced by supermassive black holes at the centers of dwarf galaxies have a considerable effect on how these galaxies evolve by suppressing the formation of stars.
