New 3D simulations on powerful supercomputers help predict the formation of growth disks and relative jets, which are sized by the strong gravitational forces of the black holes and the strong magnetic forces they generate.

In the order of hundreds of thousands to billions of solar masses, a supermassive black hole (SMBH) is the biggest form of the black hole and it is found almost at the center of most known giant and massive galaxies currently. In the case of the Milky Way, supermassive black hole matches the location of Sagittarius A*.

The size of a supermassive black hole is a direct correlation with the galaxy where it is present. About a decade ago, researchers had calculated that the mass of a supermassive black hole continuously relates to the mass of the middle part of its galaxy, which is known as its bulge. This 1 to 700 relation supports the notion that the development and structure of the galaxy are closely related to the scale of its black hole.





Supermassive black holes have properties that separate them from low-mass classification. Firstly, in the case of some supermassive black holes, the average density of SMBH can be lower than the water density because the Schwarzschild radius is directly proportional to the mass, whereas the density is inversely proportional to the volume.
