... region of a massive galaxy, and we know such fields are stronger toward the centers of nearby galaxies. Also, the field we see may have been amplified by a shock wave caused by the collision of two ...
... them. Supermassive black holes with masses of more than a billion suns have been detected at the center of large galaxies. The material falling on the black holes causes sporadic or isolated bursts ...
... is taking place near the Milky Way's core.
Their finding suggests that molecular gas at the center of our galaxy must be denser than previously believed. A higher density would make it easier for a ...
... like an egg beater: They violently stir up the galaxy center with their incredibly strong gravity, and they fling ... shows how black holes grow along with the galaxy. This is big news. We've long accepted ...
... very active star-forming regions, like the center of M82, should produce copious radio ... in January 2008, apparently near the very center of the galaxy. The team rejected alternative explanations for ...
... giant black holes are thought to reside at the centers of most galaxies today, including our own. Another ... even further back in time to catch galaxies and black holes in the act of forming from blobs ...

This causes a peak in the temperature of the gas very near the center of the galaxy. The more massive the black hole, the bigger the temperature peak detected by Chandra.

Researchers from Arkansas land $1.4 million grant to pursue study of super-massive black holes thought to reside at the center of all galaxies.
... the new observations have revealed the highest density yet for the concentration of matter at the center of our galaxy, which "is important new evidence supporting the existence of black holes," said ...
Natarajan found that ultra-massive black holes, which lurk in the centers of huge galaxy clusters like the one above, seem to have an upper mass limit of 10 billion times that of the ...
... billion years ago (about 50 million years before the Earth), it could have been either nearer to or farther from the center of the galaxy, rather than halfway toward the outer edge where it is now.

... pulse is emitting from a giant black hole in a galaxy 500 million light years from Earth. The pulse has been created by gas being sucked by gravity on to the black hole at the center of the galaxy.
