Was the James Webb Telescope Broken? The Real Culprit Was a Monster Black Hole

Observations of a distant quasar reveal that supermassive black holes may suppress star formation across intergalactic distances. Powerful radiation from active supermassive black holes – believed to sit at the center of nearly every galaxy – may do more than disrupt their own surroundings. According to new research led by Yongda Zhu, a postdoctoral researcher [...]

How Supermassive Black Holes Stifle Star Formation In Neighbouring Galaxies

We know that supermassive black holes can inhibit star formation in their galaxies. But new research and JWST observations show that the most luminous quasars can actually suppress star formation in neighbouring galaxies. SMBH may have played a more pronounced role in shaping the early Universe than previously thought.

Study suggests supermassive black holes may have played a bigger role in galaxy evolution than we thought

Supermassive black holes may slow star formation not only in their own galaxies but also in neighbouring galaxies.
