Study Finds Black Hole at Center of Nearby Dwarf Galaxy is 40 Times Smaller than Previously Thought

Astronomers who wish to know about the formation of supermassive black holes have to start small—really small, in astronomical terms. As a matter of fact, a group including astronomer Elena Gallo from the University of Michigan has found out that a black hole located at the center of an adjacent dwarf galaxy, named NGC 4395, is nearly 40 times smaller than thought earlier.
