The XMM-SERVS survey provides medium-deep X-ray coverage for three widely separated sky fields that have previously been studied at multiple wavelengths.

Key Points: 
  • The XMM-SERVS survey provides medium-deep X-ray coverage for three widely separated sky fields that have previously been studied at multiple wavelengths.
  • "Supermassive black holes are considered to have played a key role in how galaxies evolved because of the vast energy black holes release via accretion," said Chen.
  • "But how exactly did galaxies and their supermassive black holes interact with each other remains an open question."
  • Our new large sample of growing supermassive black holes will allow us to look at many more galaxy parameters together."

Now, for the first time, scientists have mapped out the invisible magnetic fields pulsing through Centaurus A using infrared light.

Key Points: 
  • Now, for the first time, scientists have mapped out the invisible magnetic fields pulsing through Centaurus A using infrared light.
  • As the galactic collision triggered a burst of star formation and reshaped the original spiral galaxy, those effects, combined withgravitational forces, distorted the smaller-scale magnetic fields, twisting them and amplifying them.
  • But researchers weren't sure what would happen to the magnetic fields after a merger in a galaxy with an active black hole at its core.
  • "We plan to spend more time focusing our analysis only on the magnetic fields around the central black hole."

Key Points: 
  • and MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Jan. 14, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Not all appears as it would seem in the Whirlpool galaxy.
  • Radio telescopes previously detected neatly-drawn magnetic fields throughout the length of the galaxy's massive arms.
  • The intense star formation in these areas creates chaos that can only be seen with infrared flight.A nearby, yellowish galaxy called NGC 5195 tugging at the outermost tip of one of the arms adds to the turmoil, possibly strengthening the magnetic fields.
  • The research builds on SOFIA's previous findings that show magnetic fields are important in shaping spiral galaxies and helps unravel the complex role magnetic fields play in the evolution of galaxies.

and MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Nov. 27, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Black holes are thought to gobble up so much surrounding material that they put an end to the life of their host galaxy.

Key Points: 
  • and MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Nov. 27, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Black holes are thought to gobble up so much surrounding material that they put an end to the life of their host galaxy.
  • "If this tandem growth continues both the black hole and the stars surrounding it would triple in size before the galaxy reaches the end of its life."
  • They form when an especially active black hole consumes huge amounts of material from its surrounding galaxy, creating strong gravitational forces.
  • The short window of joint black hole and star growth represents an early phase in the death of a galaxy, wherein the galaxy has not yet succumbed to the devasting effects of the quasar.
