Molecular Gas in Major Mergers Hosting Dual and Single AGNs at <10 kpc Nuclear Separations: #BlackHoles May Be Picky Eaters: https://public.nrao.edu/news/super-massive-black-holes-may-be-picky-eaters/ - new ALMA research reveals galaxy mergers that feed black holes may be not be a the buffet astronomers previously thought.

Spinning into the Gap - Direct-horizon Collapse as the Origin of GW231123 from End-to-end General-relativistic Magnetohydrodynamic Simulations: #BlackHoles Explained: https://www.simonsfoundation.org/2025/11/10/mysterious-impossible-merger-of-two-massive-black-holes-explained/ - a comprehensive set of simulations by Flatiron Institute astrophysicists and their colleagues revealed that magnetic fields are responsible for creating black holes with masses in a range previously thought to be largely off-limits.
