"Black holes all eat the same way" June 23, 2008
Results from an Extensive Simultaneous Broadband Campaign on the Underluminous Active Nucleus M81*: Further Evidence for Mass-scaling Accretion in Black Holes
Sera Markoff, Michael Nowak, Andrew Young, Herman L. Marshall, Claude R. Canizares, Alison Peck

"Black holes are often described as voracious and monstrous, with sloppy eating habits that cause X-rays to be coughed up and spat out willy nilly...scientists now say that regardless of where black holes dine, they have the same culinary habits.  Supermassive black holes, which anchor many galaxies, feed just like smaller "stellar" black holes, the researchers announced last week...The findings will be detailed in the Astrophysical Journal."

"Nearby galaxies are chock-full of dark matter" June 4, 2008
The Most Dark-Matter-dominated Galaxies: Predicted Gamma-Ray Signals from the Faintest Milky Way Dwarfs
Louis E. Strigari, Savvas M. Koushiappas, James S. Bullock, Manoj Kaplinghat, Joshua D. Simon, Marla Geha, and Beth Willman
Strigari says observing these galaxies is an excellent way to identify what dark matter is. For example, from the energy of any gamma rays we could infer that certain types of particle are annihilating with their own antiparticles. The galaxies' closeness and the concentration of dark matter makes observing them easy (The Astrophysical Journal, vol 678, p 614).
