Spectral observations made by te Australia Telescope of the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation, at radio frequencies as high as 100 billion cycles per second, have enabled scientisits to trace the infalling and outflowing gas around the central, supermassive black hole in this galaxy.
