Clusters of galaxies are the most massive gravitationally bound objects in the Universe and are still forming. They are thus important probes1 of cosmological parameters and many astrophysical processes. However, knowledge of the dynamics of the perv...

Cold, clumpy accretion onto an active supermassive black hole (2016)
Journal Article
Tremblay, G. R., Oonk, J. B. R., Combes, F., Salomé, P., O’Dea, C. P., Baum, S. A., …Wise, M. W. (2016). Cold, clumpy accretion onto an active supermassive black hole. Nature, 534(7606), 218-221. https://doi.org/10.1038/nature17969

Supermassive black holes in galaxy centres can grow by the accretion of gas, liberating energy that might regulate star formation on galaxy-wide scales. The nature of the gaseous fuel reservoirs that power black hole growth is nevertheless largely un... Read More about Cold, clumpy accretion onto an active supermassive black hole.
