There is a strong relation between the size of a galaxy’s black hole and the motion of stars in the galaxy’s core, known as the M-sigma relation. It turns out

arXiv:2512.15858v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Despite numerous search campaigns based on a diverse set of observational techniques, exomoons – prospective satellites of extrasolar planets – remain an elusive and hard-to-pin-down
