Indian astronomers trace mystery behind dwarf galaxy aberrations

Most of these tiny tots called dwarf galaxies form stars at a much slower rate than the massive ones Some dwarf galaxies are seen forming new stars at a mass-normalized rate 10-100 times more than that of the Milky-way galaxy These activities, however, do not last longer than a few tens of million-years, a period which is much shorter than the age of these galaxies

This is how supermassive black holes prevent star formation

The dwarf galaxies under observation were still accumulating gas which should re-start star formation in a red, dead galaxy but wasn't.

The power of super massive black holes – They can halt star formation

The energy pouring into a galaxy from an active galactic nucleus is thought to turn off star formation by heating and dispelling the gas that would otherwise condense into stars.

Evidence of new stars forming in Milky Way offer insights into origin of solar system

These stellar nurseries can produce dozens or even hundreds of stars with different sizes and masses.

Astronomers observe black hole producing cold, star-making fuel from hot plasma jets

Using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), the researchers found that powerful radio jets from the black hole - which normally suppress star formation - are stimulating the production of cold gas in the galaxy's extended halo of hot gas.
