Next: Elliptical Galaxies. ... NGC 4258 is a nearby ( D = 6.4 Mpc) active spiral galaxy with high luminosity H 2 O maser emission. ... This provides the most compelling evidence so far for a black hole in the centre of a galaxy. ... As NGC 4258, the galaxies NGC 3079, NGC 1068, NGC 4945, and Circinus each host an H 2 0 megamaser (apparent isotropic luminosity > 10 L ). ... Weaker H 2 0 masers are also known in NGC 253, M82 and a few other galaxies (see Greenhill et al. 1990, and references therein). ...

... For us to see them from such great distances, quasars must be producing enormous energy -- they are about 1000 times brighter than an average galaxy! ... One of their choices for the energy source of quasars was a black hole. ... On the one hand, it may seem difficult to think that mere friction between bits of matter could account for the energy of a quasar, but, on the other hand, gravity is unimaginably strong near a black hole. ... How does matter actually rush towards the black hole? ...

... NASA's Hubble Space Telescope offers a stunning unprecedented close-up view of a turbulent firestorm of starbirth along a nearly edge-on dust disk girdling Centaurus A, the nearest active galaxy to Earth. A ground-based telescopic view (upper left insert) shows that the dust lane girdles the entire elliptical galaxy. This lane has long been considered the dust remnant of a smaller spiral galaxy that merged with the large elliptical galaxy. ...

... SS433 is a close binary system, one star is a supergiant, a second one is a black hole. ... Even a black hole cannot accept such an enormous mass flux, a supercritical accretion disk appears, all the excess gas glows up to several tens of thousands degrees and is ejected off the disk with enormous velocities. ... SAO researchers have found an evidence of the supercritical accretion onto a black hole in SS433, which follows from a brightness variability of the SS433 disk. ...

NGC 4151 is located about 43 million light-years away from Earth and is one of the nearest galaxies that contains an actively growing black hole. ... If the X-ray emission in NGC 4151 originates from hot gas heated by the outflow from the central black hole, it would be strong evidence for feedback from active black holes to the surrounding gas on galaxy scales. ...
