XMM-Newton Detects Mysterious X-Ray Oscillations in Supermassive Black Hole

In 2018, astronomers observed that the corona of 1ES 1927+654, an actively accreting, 1.4-million-solar-mass black hole located in a galaxy around 270 million light-years away, suddenly disappeared, before reassembling months later.
