Scientists have discovered a supermassive black hole in distant space – Science and IT
This discovery casts doubt on the notion of the formation of massive black holes in the early universe.
Scientists have discovered a supermassive black hole at the center of the distant galaxy LID-568. It absorbs surrounding matter at a rate 40 times higher than the limit known as the Eddington limit.
This was reported by the ScienceAlert resource.
The black hole, which the researchers named “glutton”, is located in the center of the galaxy LID-568. Its insatiability is 40 times higher than previous ideas about the possible growth rate of black holes.
Scientists suggest that the early supermassive black holes could have formed not only from collapsing stars, but also from giant clumps of gas. The discovery of this “super-Eddington” black hole confirms that certain black holes can quickly gain mass during a single rapid absorption episode.
