The colors of NGC 5548 are typical of other active galactic nuclei, he said, which has wide-ranging implications. Because of the dimming effects of dust, active galactic nuclei are even more ...

The AGN located in the galaxy NGC 1068, a neighbor of the Milky Way, is one of the closest known active galactic nuclei. The ...

The colors of NGC 5548 are typical of other active galactic nuclei, he said, which has wide-ranging implications. Because of the dimming effects of dust, active galactic nuclei are even more ...

Black holes residing at the center of galaxies produce way more energy than scientists previously thought, a new study has revealed. These so-called active galactic nuclei devour huge amounts of ...

Active galactic nuclei — the bright, noisy cores of galaxies where supermassive black holes accrete huge quantities of matter — are the most luminous stable objects in the sky. But they may be ...

RIT researchers will be co-investigators on nine of NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope Cycle 4 programs set to begin in early ...

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.

Quasars are the remarkably bright cores of active galaxies in the distant universe, they are an extreme form of what astronomers call "active galactic nuclei", or AGN for short.

In the new study, Kirkpatrick and her team turned JWST toward a well-studied strip of sky where, in 2008, the Spitzer Space Telescope had found infrared signatures of active galactic nuclei in ...

An international research team led by Silke Britzen from the Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy in Bonn, Germany, has investigated blazars, accreting supermassive black holes in the centers of ...

The team reached this conclusion by studying the reddening effect of dust on the light from one of the most well-studied active galactic nuclei, known as NGC 5548. Just as the Earth’s atmosphere makes ...
