'Sideline quasars' helped to stifle early galaxy formation, says CU-Boulder study
University of Colorado Boulder astronomers targeting one of the brightest quasars glowing in the universe some 11 billion years ago say "sideline quasars" likely teamed up with it to heat abundant helium gas billions of years ago, preventing small galaxy formation. View More (2013-03-22)
Extremely rare triple quasar found
For only the second time in history, a team of scientists--including Carnegie's Michele Fumagalli--have discovered an extremely rare triple quasar system. Their work is published by Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society. View More (2013-03-12)
Galactic geysers fuelled by star stuff
Enormous outflows of charged particles from the centre of our Galaxy, stretching more than halfway across the sky and moving at supersonic speeds, have been detected and mapped with CSIRO's 64-m Parkes radio telescope. View More (2013-01-03)
When the first stars blinked on
As far back in time as astronomers have been able to see, the universe has had some trace of heavy elements, such as carbon and oxygen. View More (2012-12-06)
Virginia Tech scientists discover record-breaking black hole energy blast
Virginia Tech physics researchers have discovered a quasar with the most energetic outflow ever, a finding that may answer questions about how the mass of a galaxy is linked to its central black hole mass and why there are so few large galaxies in the universe. View More (2012-11-29)
Record-setting X-ray jet discovered
A jet of X-rays from a supermassive black hole 12.4 billion light years from Earth has been detected by NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory. View More (2012-11-29)
Biggest black hole blast discovered
Quasars are the intensely luminous centres of distant galaxies that are powered by huge black holes. View More (2012-11-28)
BOSS quasars unveil a new era in the expansion history of the universe
BOSS, the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey, is mapping a huge volume of space to measure the role of dark energy in the evolution of the universe. View More (2012-11-13)
Quasars: Mileposts marking the universe's expansion
Scientists can't travel deep space the way Columbus sailed and charted the New World or Lewis and Clark mapped the west. View More (2012-09-19)
Dark galaxies of the early Universe spotted for the first time
Dark galaxies are small, gas-rich galaxies in the early Universe that are very inefficient at forming stars. They are predicted by theories of galaxy formation and are thought to be the building blocks of today's bright, star-filled galaxies. View More (2012-07-11)
Most Quasars Live on Snacks, Not Large Meals
Black holes in the early universe needed a few snacks rather than one giant meal to fuel their quasars and help them grow, a new study shows.

Baby galaxies grew up quickly
Baby galaxies from the young Universe more than 12 billion years ago evolved faster than previously thought, shows new research from the Niels Bohr Institute. View More (2012-05-17)
Astronomers using NASA's Hubble discover quasars acting as gravitational lenses
Astronomers using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope have found several examples of galaxies containing quasars, which act as gravitational lenses, amplifying and distorting images of galaxies aligned behind them. View More (2012-03-16)
The wild early lives of today's most massive galaxies
Astronomers have combined observations from the LABOCA camera on the ESO-operated 12-metre Atacama Pathfinder Experiment (APEX) telescope with measurements made with ESO's Very Large Telescope, NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope, and others, to look at the way that bright, distant galaxies are gathered together in groups or clusters.

Record-breaking black holes discovered, U of T astronomer on international team
An international team of astronomers has discovered two gigantic black holes with masses about 10 billion times the mass of our sun. These black holes have a mass more than 50 per cent greater than any other previously measured. View More (2011-12-06)
Record massive black holes discovered lurking in monster galaxies
University of California, Berkeley, astronomers have discovered the largest black holes to date ‑- two monsters with masses equivalent to 10 billion suns that are threatening to consume anything, even light, within a region five times the size of our solar system. View More (2011-12-06)
Astronomers find that galaxies are the ultimate recyclers
A team of researchers from several universities and institutions, including University of Notre Dame physics faculty Chris Howk and Nicolas Lehner, has demonstrated how galaxies continue to form stars by recycling vast amounts of hydrogen gas and heavy elements across billions of years.

Astronomers use advanced equipment aboard Hubble to reveal galaxies' most elusive secrets
New, high-precision equipment orbiting Earth aboard the Hubble Space Telescope is now sending such rich data back to astronomers, some feel they are crossing the final frontier toward understanding galaxy evolution, says Todd Tripp, leader of the team at the University of Massachusetts Amherst.

Hubble directly observes the disc around a black hole
An international team of astronomers has used a new technique to study the bright disc of matter surrounding a faraway black hole. View More (2011-11-04)
Caltech-Led Astronomers Discover the Largest and Most Distant Reservoir of Water Yet
Water really is everywhere. Two teams of astronomers, each led by scientists at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), have discovered the largest and farthest reservoir of water ever detected in the universe. View More (2011-07-25)
