Shaping Galaxies with Supermassive Black Hole Winds

Mitchell Revalski, Space Telescope Science Institute
Galaxies are a diverse population with a wide range of sizes, shapes, intensity of star formation, and masses of the supermassive black holes at their cores. These seemingly distinct characteristics can show intriguing correlations. A key ingredient in forming those relationships may be supermassive black hole winds, which are energetic flows of gas powered by the light emitted from growing black holes. These winds can sculpt the shapes of galaxies, determine the rate at which stars are able to form, and push heavy elements into the voids between galaxies. Join us for a visual exploration of what recent observations and simulations have taught us about these winds and how they may influence the development of galaxies.

great presentation, best one so far!

[@ManjulaD]

this is superb

[@Jimmybarth]

You're the best. No contest.

I wonder if I’m the future technology can mask the Milky Way stars for longer or clearer exposures of far away galaxies. Not sure it would make a difference it just came to mind since we sometimes mask center bright areas. I assume any nearby light pollution doesn’t help.

Do black holes die? My first thought was MASSIVE EXPLOSION! :D

They let some kind of particle "wind" outside? I am afraid to even try to imagine it.

I want to know more info and background story about the "recent" admission of the 2013 Hubble discovery that they are just now getting to, the large planet I think about 11 times larger than jupiter

[@bazpearce9993]

2018gv probably wiped out quite a bit of life in that galaxy.

If you could how close could you get

Where can I watch the dark secrets of the universe

Good thing they didn't launch James Webb Space Telescope in 2020, because it would end badly...
