Nina Nowak , Jens Thomas , Peter Erwin , Roberto P. Saglia , Ralf Bender , Richard I. Davies ArXiv #: 0912.2511 ( PDF , PS , Other ) Comments: 28 pages, 31 figures. Accepted by MNRAS It is now well established that all galaxies with a massive bulge component harbour a central supermassive black hole (SMBH). The mass of the SMBH correlates with bulge properties such as the bulge mass and the velocity dispersion, which implies that ...

A black hole is far closer to Earth than first thought, astronomers have discovered. The scientists discovered the hole was in fact about half as distant as previously thought. It is the first time the distance between our planet and the void has been measured accurately. But before you go running for cover you will be relieved to hear it is still 7,800 light years away - with one light year equivalent to 5.8trillion miles. The one ...

(From Science Daily) An international team of astronomers has accurately measured the distance from Earth to a black hole for the first time. Without needing to rely on mathematical models the astronomers came up with a distance of 7800 light years, much closer than had been assumed until now. The researchers achieved this breakthrough by measuring the radio emissions from the black hole and its associated dying star. Due to the much ...
