Astronomers find unexpected accelerating quasar winds around distant black hole
Illustration of supermassive black hole with quasar wind, with inset spectra.

Astronomers have used eight years of SDSS observations to discover unexpected changes in the winds surrounding a distant black hole.

How do supermassive black holes get super massive?
Combined X-ray and optical observations on left and simulated gas column density on right, with inset of artist's impression of active supermassive black hole

Astronomers combine X-ray observations with supercomputer simulations to provide best modeling of the growth of supermassive black holes.
