While VSOP spends most of its time observing jet phenomenon in Active Galactic Nuclei, we sometimes detect a disk perpendicular to the jet during observation.

Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN): Extremely luminous central regions of galaxies, powered by accretion of matter onto a supermassive black hole.

A new analysis of BL Lacertae by NASA’s Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer sheds light on the emission mechanisms of active ...

New research has affirmed the connection between supermassive black holes and galactic death through the cessation of star birth — albeit in an unexpected way.Scientists have known for some time that ...

Active galactic nuclei are supermassive black holes at the center of certain galaxies. As matter falls into these black holes, enormous amounts of energy are released, making active galactic nuclei, ...

James Webb Space Telescope has spotted a rare double-ring galaxy collision 11 billion light-years away, forming an owl-like ...

NASA says they are roughly 300 light-years apart, making them the closest detected active galactic nuclei (AGN) pair we have ever observed in X-ray and visible-light wavelengths.

They often are so bright to match the luminosity of their host galaxy, which has earned them the name of active galactic nuclei (AGN). But they are not just bright – they shape the evolution of ...
