This image, taken with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), shows the molecular gas content of two galaxies involved in a cosmic collision. The one on the right hosts a quasar –– a ...

New research reveals that active supermassive black holes can suppress star formation in neighboring galaxies across vast ...

Galaxies formed and grew billions of years ago by accumulating gas from their surroundings, or colliding and merging with other young galaxies. These early stages of galaxy assembly are believed to be ...

Using the Subaru Telescope on Mauna Kea, an international collaboration of astronomers led by scientists at Waseda University and Tohoku University of Japan have discovered an extraordinary quasar in ...

Astronomers have used a pair of Mauna Kea telescopes to shed light on one of the universe’s earliest stages of development. Using the Gemini North and Subaru telescopes, a team led by astronomer ...

Observations of a distant quasar reveal that supermassive black holes may suppress star formation across intergalactic ...

Intense radiation emitted by active supermassive black holes—thought to reside at the center of most, if not all, ...

UK astronomers using the 15-m James Clerk Maxwell Telescope in Hawaii have discovered enormous quantities of cosmic dust in the most distant quasar yet observed. The quasar, called SDSS J1148+5251 is ...
