Study maps how supermassive black holes sculpt galaxies through shock waves

Study reveals black holes actively reshape galaxies through AGN feedback

2 Sep 21 · 2d ago · 3 posts · 3 sources · development 2 of 2

Astronomers investigating nine local galaxies with active galactic nuclei at their centers discovered how shock waves from supermassive black holes sculpt star formation. The research maps out how AGN feedback—powerful shocks from energy flowing out of black hole regions—pumps energy into surrounding gas and dust, the raw material for star formation.

“We're seeing that black holes are not just consuming material at the centers of galaxies, but they're actively reshaping their surroundings.”
