The galaxy's strange morphology is generally recognized as the result of a merger between two smaller galaxies. [34] Zoom movie of the galaxy Centaurus A, showing different aspects of the galaxy in several wavelengths. Schematic diagram of the components of the Centaurus A galaxy. The bulge of this galaxy is composed mainly of evolved red stars ...
NASA releases images of galaxy clusters with black holes at center. ... The images show the Perseus Cluster and the Centaurus Cluster, each with a central black hole appearing as a bright white ...
One of the closest active galaxies to Earth is the Centaurus A galaxy, NGC 5128, at 11 million light-years away (redshift 0.00183). It has a supermassive black hole at its core, which expels massive jets of matter that emit radio waves due to synchrotron radiation.
IRAS 13224-3809 is a highly active and fluctuating Seyfert 1 galaxy in the constellation Centaurus [2] about 1 billion light-years from Earth. [3] [5] [6] The galaxy is notable due to its centrally-located supermassive black hole that is closely studied by astronomers using x-ray astronomy, particularly X-ray reverberation echo mapping techniques, in an effort to better understand the inner ...
It is the brightest galaxy in the Centaurus Cluster, a large, rich cluster of galaxies in the constellation of the same name. [3] The galaxy is surrounded by many dwarf elliptical galaxies also located within the cluster. [3] There is believed to be a supermassive black hole at the center of the galaxy. [4]
NGC 5419 is the brightest cluster galaxy of the galaxy cluster, Abell S0753. [3] It contains a large core with a radius span of 1.58 arcsec (≈55 pc). In addition, it has a double nucleus, indicating the presence of two supermassive black holes in the center with a separation gap of only ≈70 pc.
Gaia BH2 (Gaia DR3 5870569352746779008) is a binary system consisting of a red giant and what is very likely a stellar-mass black hole.Gaia BH2 is located about 3,800 light years away (1.16 kpc away) in the constellation of Centaurus, making it as of 2024 the third-closest known black hole system to Earth.
