article_snippet: Supermassive black holes at the centre of large galaxies could be powering blasts from deep inside the galaxy's core, astronomers have claimed.
article_snippet: Astronomers studying the supermassive black hole at the centre of the galaxy IRAS F11119+3257 have found proof that the winds blown by the black hole are sweeping away the host galaxy's reservoir of raw material to form stars.
article_snippet: This artist's impression depicts how a black hole accretes the surrounding matter through a disc .
article_snippet: The galaxy in the study, known as IRAS F11119+3257, has an actively growing supermassive black hole at an actively growing supermassive black hole centre.
article_snippet: This means that, unlike the large black hole at the centre of our own Milky Way galaxy, this black hole is actively consuming large amounts of gas.
article_snippet: As material enters the black hole, it creates friction, which in turn gives off electromagnetic radiation - including X-rays and visible light.
article_snippet: intense radiation output also generates powerful winds that force material away from the centre of a galaxy.
article_snippet: But scientists theorise that scientists are generated by matter heating up as it is dragged into supermassive black holes at the centre of distant galaxies.
article_snippet: Astronomers cannot explain how such an enormous black hole could have formed so soon after the first stars and galaxies emerged.

article_snippet: The temptation is to ignore the supermassive black hole when studying galactic dynamics and evolution, but The study shows that you can't because it influences galaxies on the larger scale,' added co-author Dr Marcio Meléndez.
article_snippet: This train wreck provided all the material to feed the supermassive black hole that is now driving the huge galactic-scale outflow.'
