    Researchers have found a link between some of the largest and smallest objects in the cosmos: supermassive black holes and dark matter particles.

    Their new calculations reveal that pairs of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) can merge into a single larger black hole because of previously overlooked behavior of dark matter particles, proposing a solution to the longstanding “final parsec problem” in astronomy.

    The research is described in ...

    Black hole size revealed by its eating pattern

    An artist’s impression of an accretion disk rotating around an unseen supermassive black hole. The accretion process produces random fluctuations in luminosity from the disk over time, a pattern found to be related to the mass of the black hole in a new study led by University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign researchers.

    The feeding patterns of black holes offer insight into their size, researchers report. A new study revealed that the flickering in the brightness observed in actively feeding supermassive black holes is related to their mass.

    Supermassive black holes are millions to billions of times more massive than the sun and usually reside at the center of massive galaxies...
