Astronomers discover 11 new active galactic nuclei: What are they?

SMRTR summary

Russian astronomers using the Spektr-RG space observatory have discovered 11 new active galactic nuclei (AGNs). These extremely energetic regions at galaxy cores are powered by supermassive black holes. The newly identified AGNs are relatively close to Earth and have been classified as Seyfert galaxies based on their X-ray luminosities. This discovery contributes to our understanding of galactic evolution and the nature of supermassive black holes.
