University of Haifa is leading an international observational campaign to map out the vicinity of black holes to better understand how they amass material and grow over cosmic time. “We will examine the supermassive black hole in the MRK 279 galaxy, which is several hundred million of light-years away from Earth and growing fast,” explains lead researcher Prof. Doron Chelouche (Department of Physics and the Haifa Center for Theoretical Physics and Astrophysics). The study is being conducted in collaboration with Princeton University, University of Göttingen, Ruhr-University Bochum, and Tel Aviv University, and will make use of the world-renowned Hubble Telescope.
