  Hidden black holes come into view (June 2004) - News - PhysicsWeb
Paolo Padovani of the European Southern Observatory (ESO) and colleagues at ESO, Strasbourg and Cambridge found the objects by looking for certain types of quasar.
Padovani and colleagues searched for a rare type quasar known as an obscured quasar.
Padovani and co-workers found 68 candidate obscured quasars, and 31 of these had characteristics that suggested they were associated with supermassive fl holes.

 Discovering missing black holes: First science from a virtual observatory   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
The European AVO science team led by Paolo Padovani from Space Telescope-European Coordinating Facility and the European Southern Observatory in Munich, Germany, now announces the discovery of a whole population of the obscured, powerful supermassive fl holes.
The majority of the sources are so faint that it is currently not possible to take spectra of them and the VO techniques made it possible for the researchers to work seamlessly with images and catalogues from many different sources.
According to Paolo Padovani: "This discovery means that surveys of powerful supermassive fl holes have so far underestimated their numbers by at least a factor of two, and possibly by up to a factor of five."

Sagittarius A* (additional info and facts about Sagittarius A*) is believed to be the supermassive fl hole residing at the center of the Milky Way (The galaxy containing the solar system; consists of millions of stars that can be seen as a diffuse band of light stretching across the night sky).
In May 2004, Paolo Padovani and other leading astronomers announced their discovery of 30 previously hidden supermassive fl holes outside the Milky Way.
Their discovery also suggests there are at least twice as many of these fl holes as previously thought.

The morning session was concluded by Paolo Bensi, who illustrated the results achieved by avant-garde artists thanks to the progress in chemistry, not only from a theoretical and conceptual point of view, but also from a practical one.
In the afternoon, Angelo Bassani discussed the role of Venetian industrial awards, introduced by the French in 1806 and continued by the Austrian government until 1858, as an incentive to economic growth.
Marco Fontani (also on behalf of Maria Grazia Costa and Paolo Manzelli) examined the contribution of Italian scientists to the endeavor to identify the missing elements required to complete the periodic table.

But the most fantastic demonstration of the potential science that VO is likely to generate in the future came early this year.
In May, a European team led by Paolo Padovani of the ESO, used the AVO infrastructure to find 30 supermassive fl holes that had previously escaped detection behind the masking dusk clouds.
"This discovery means that surveys of powerful supermassive fl holes have so far underestimated their numbers by at least a factor of two and possibly by up to a factor of five," Padovani said.

The European Commission has recognised the fundamental importance of applying advanced new computational and information discovery techniques in enabling and speeding the astrophysical research process.
The authors would like to acknowledge the many people who produced the data on which these results are based: the GOODS, Chandra Deep Field-South, Penn State and HELLAS2XMM teams.

The newfound fl holes were long sought but went unnoticed because they lurk behind veils of dust and are so faraway that even the galaxies they anchor are difficult to examine in any detail.
"This discovery means that surveys of powerful supermassive fl holes have so far underestimated their numbers by at least a factor of two, and possibly by up to a factor of five," said study leader Paolo Padovani from Space Telescope-European Coordinating Facility and the European Southern Observatory in Munich, Germany.
They were found using the Astrophysical Virtual Observatory (AVO), a database of observations from various telescopes.

European researchers have found 30 previously hidden supermassive fl holes anchoring faraway galaxies, which suggests there at least twice as many of the colossal gravity wells as thought.
"This discovery means that surveys of powerful supermassive fl holes have so far underestimated their numbers by at least a factor of two, and possibly by up to a factor of five," said study leader Paolo Padovani.
The experiment actually inhibits some brain activity to afford — in its premise, at least — heightened access to the parts of our brains that collect raw information before the data is filtered into concepts.
