Black Holes in Merging Galaxies

NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE

Violent galaxy mergers can activate supermassive black holes, creating intensely luminous objects called Active Galactic Nuclei, or AGN. New data from NASA's Swift satellite shows a strong link between these energetic X-ray sources and merging galaxies. This finding challenges earlier theories that only a small percentage of AGN were associated with mergers.
