How Space Winds Impact Galaxy Evolution

An international research team has analyzed ultra-fast outflows (UFOs) from active galactic nuclei (AGN) using ESA's XMM-Newton space telescope. They found that about 30% of the AGN analyzed had space winds traveling at speeds between 10% and 30% of the speed of light. These emissions are crucial to understanding the mechanisms regulating the behavior of supermassive black holes in their active phase and their role in shaping the evolution process of galaxies.
