Blazars
(Preview)
A New Class of Extragalactic Objects A blazar is a galaxy with an intensely bright central nucleus containing a supermassive black hole, much like a quasar. The difference is that a blazar can emit light with extremely high energy gamma rays that are sometimes over a hundred million times more energ...

Infrared background glow
(Preview)
NASA's Spitzer Sees Light of Lonesome Stars A new study using data from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope suggests a cause for the mysterious glow of infrared light seen across the entire sky. It comes from isolated stars beyond the edges of galaxies. These stars are thought to have once belonged to the...

QSO J1148+5251
(Preview)
An intense star-forming region that produces a combined mass of more than one thousand solar masses a year has been found 12.8 billion light-years from Earth. The so-called 'hyper-starburst' is part of a young, quasar-containing galaxy. Because it is so far away, we can only see how the galaxy appe...

Swift J164449.3+573451
(Preview)
Black hole caught grabbing a starry treat On 28 March, NASA's Swift telescope detected several bright bursts of X-rays coming from a patch of the sky where no X-rays had been detected before. Now two teams, one led by David Burrows of Pennsylvania State University in University Park and the other by A...

Seyfert 1 Galaxy 1H0707-495
(Preview)
Using new data from ESA's XMM-Newton spaceborne observatory, astronomers have probed closer than ever to a supermassive black hole lying deep at the core of a distant active galaxy. The galaxy - known as 1H0707-495 - was observed during four 48-hr-long orbits of XMM-Newton around Earth, starting...
