New research that was published in the journal Nature Astronomy on Monday lays out the discovery of a distant quasar containing what scientists say is the fastest-growing black hole ever recorded.

A Yale-led team of astronomers has detected an intensely brightening and dimming quasar that may help explain how some objects in the early universe grew at a highly accelerated rate. The discovery, ...

The researchers discovered that the collision of galaxies is what likely triggers quasars, estimating that quasar-hosting galaxies are three times as likely to collide with other galaxies.

Yuzuru Yoshii at the University of Tokyo and his colleagues found these hints while examining the light of a quasar, an extremely bright object at the centre of a galaxy powered by matter falling ...
