High-resolution radio investigations of nearby galaxies have revealed a hidden population of weakly active black holes in the local Universe that was so far difficult to detect.
Hunting these hidden monsters is essential as they can inject energy into their surroundings through jets and outflows, influencing star formation rates and the long-term evolution of galaxies.
Astronomers believe that almost every galaxy harbours a massive black hole at its centre. However, many of these black holes remain extremely faint and spotting them was a challenge.
