Astronomers have produced the most comprehensive image of radio emission from the nearest actively feeding supermassive black hole to Earth. The emiss....

The image, captured by the Murchison Widefield Array telescope in Boolardy, Australia, shows radio emission from a supermassive black hole in the centre of Centaurus A.

“In this research we’ve been able to combine the radio observations with optical and x-ray data, to help us better understand the physics of these supermassive black holes.”

Astronomers have discovered a pulsar--a dense and rapidly spinning neutron star sending radio waves into the cosmos--using a low-frequency radio telescope in outback Australia. The new pulsar is located more than 3,000 light-years from Earth and spins about once every second. Pulsars are used by astronomers for applications including testing the laws of physics under extreme conditions. The study of pulsars is one of the headline areas of science for the multi-billion-dollar Square Kilometre Arr...
