- Astronomers have detected 11 new Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs) during their all-sky X-ray surveys.
- For that, they were using the Spektr-RG (SRG) space observatory.
- Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs) are compact regions at the centres of galaxies.
- It emits exceptionally high levels of electromagnetic radiation, often outshining the rest of the galaxy.
- This intense emission arises from either accretion of matter by a supermassive black hole or intense star formation activity.
- AGNs are among the very most luminous and persistent energy sources in the universe and are critical to understanding galaxy formation and evolution.
