What Does CND Stand For?
CND stands for Circumnuclear Disk
CND, or Circumnuclear Disk, refers to a dense, rotating ring of gas and dust that encircles the region around a supermassive black hole at the center of a galaxy. This structure plays a crucial role in the dynamics of galactic nuclei, facilitating the inflow of material toward the black hole and influencing star formation activities. The study of CNDs enhances our understanding of galaxy evolution and the interplay between black holes and their host galaxies.
