Astrophysical Evidence for the Existence of Black Holes - Review article by Annalisa Celotti, John C. Miller, and Dennis W. Sciama (SISSA, Trieste) about the current state of the search for observational evidence for the existence of both stellar-mass and supermassive black holes. XMM: Black Holes and Quasars - Educational pages on the website of the space-borne X-ray telescope XMM, hosted by the University of Birmingham. Information about black holes and other astronomical sources of X-rays. Hubble Space Telescope Discovers Disk Fueling Possible Black Hole - News item published on the website of the Space Telescope Science Institute. Study of Accretion Processes on Black Holes: Fifty Years of Developments - Review article by Sandip K.
