Austin – a more certain black hole was discovered ever. A team led by astronomers from the University of Texas in Austin announced the discovery of the black hole in the Capers-LRD-Z9 Galaxy earlier this month.
Black hole is 300 million huge times of our sun. In fact, it has a mass of more than half of the stars in its combined galaxy.
It was discovered using Telescope James Webb Space Telescope, and the black hole shaped 500 million years after the Big Bang. This makes it 13.3 billion years.
The team, under the leadership of the Cosmic Border Center, published its work on August 6 in Astronomical Physics Magazine messages.
To discover black holes, astronomers search for a strange light indicating a fast -moving gas. The gas that moves towards us is the blue wavelengths, while the gas that moves away from us appears red through spectral analysis.
In a press statement from UT AustinThe main author of the paper, Anthony Taylor, said, “There are not many other things that create this signature (along with a black hole).”
The galaxy that discovered the black hole is called the “Small Red Point”. These galaxies were formed in the first 1.5 billion years of the universe. The first discovery of these galaxies was discovered by the James Web telescope, which was launched in 2021.
The discovery of this black hole gives us a better understanding of the early universe. “This adds to increasing evidence that early black holes have grown much faster than we believed,” said Stephen Venkelstein, co -author of the paper.
The team hopes that the next steps for its research are to use James Webb to get more data about Galaxy Capers-LRD-Z9.
