This rare quasar with spiral arms could help astronomers understand how supermassive black holes feed and grow.
For the first time, astronomers have traced a fast radio burst (FRB) to the outskirts of an ancient, dead, elliptical ...
But new FRB is pinpointed to the outskirts of 11.3-billion-year-old galaxy ... spiral galaxy located about 12 million light years from Earth. Although FRB 20240209A occurred in an elliptical ...
"Because it's such a large supermassive black hole at the center, we'd predicted we'd see an elliptical galaxy." The spiral host galaxy, a quasar named J0742+2704, was discovered emanating a "newborn" ...
These FRBs, named FRB 20240209A, are located outside of the massive ancient elliptical galaxy it is associated with that only contains old and dead stars, Shah said. Using the James Webb Space ...
The signal has been linked to the outskirts of an ancient, dead, elliptical galaxy. This presents an unprecedented home for a phenomenon previously associated with much younger galaxies.
For the first time, astronomers have traced a fast radio burst (FRB) to the outskirts of an ancient, dead, elliptical galaxy ... 81 (M81), a grand design spiral galaxy located about 12 million ...
