Astronomers detect black hole 'starving' its host galaxy to death

This massive galaxy, roughly the size of the Milky Way, has mostly stopped forming new stars, a state known as "quenched."

Using the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers have uncovered that supermassive black holes can exhaust the resources necessary for star formation in their host galaxies, effectively starving them. This was observed in a galaxy similar in size to the Milky Way, located in the early universe. The discovery reveals that the black hole is actively [...]

James Webb Space Telescope witnesses a black hole 'killing' its galaxy

Galaxies usually become chaotic when they run out of star-making fuel, but this one is going out surprisingly quietly.

Monster black hole is starving its host galaxy to death, James Webb telescope reveals

Artist’s concept of 2 active supermassive black holes at the heart of 2 merging galaxies. Each is surrounded by an accretion disk of hot gas. Some of the material is ejected along the spin axis of each black hole so that jets – devastating beams of energy – blaze across space at nearly the speed of light.

Black holes only 300 light-years apart – closer than any other observed pair of supermassive bla…

Black hole duo will merge in a distant galaxy

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has identified a black hole that confirms the theory that some supermassive black holes can starve their host galaxies of the fuel needed to make new stars. GS-10578, nicknamed “Pablo’s Galaxy”, is roughly the size of the Milky Way. It is nearly 12 billion light-years away, meaning the light that has reached Earth is from a time when the universe was only about 2 billion years old, roughly 15% of its current age…
