A prime example of an AGN providing valuable insights is the galaxy NGC 1068. Located a mere 14.4 million parsecs from Earth, this Seyfert 2 galaxy has served as a pivotal laboratory for AGN studies.

Astronomers have spotted a young, blazing black hole that was already growing at a furious pace just one billion years after ...

Zamani (NSF NOIRLab) This scatter plot shows the number of candidate dwarf galaxies hosting active galactic nuclei (AGN) from previous surveys as compared with the number of new dwarf galaxy AGN ...

My research is on supermassive black holes, active galactic nuclei (AGN), and galaxy mergers. In particular I study AGN feeding and feedback, which includes AGN activation during galaxy mergers and ...

"When a black hole at the center of a galaxy starts feeding ... candidate dwarf galaxies hosting an active galactic nucleus (AGN) -- the largest sample ever discovered. The significantly higher ...

The discrepancy has been thought to be due to feedback mechanisms from active galactic nuclei (AGN)—a very bright, compact region at the center of a galaxy, powered by a supermassive black hole ...
