One of the largest black hole ever – with a mass of 35 billion flax

Astronomers have discovered what they say is the largest black hole ever.

The cosmic Bhamath is close to the theoretical upper range of what is possible in the universe, and is 10,000 times heavier than the black hole in our own galaxy.

It is also 35 billion times like our Sun, which enables it to classify it as an ultraMasive black hole.

Carlos Roberto de Melo-Karneero, who discovered Black Hole, told CBC News that it was “one of the largest black hole of the biggest black hole ever.”

He says that it is another key to understand how black holes are formed and how they can be studied in future.

An ultrassiv black hole

This is actually the first research of Melo-Karneiro which includes black hole. PhD student at Universed Federal is the lead writer of Rio Grande Do Sul in Brazil Study about it was published on ThursdayAnd found it while looking at the dark matter in the galaxy.

Their initial plan was to find out how dark matter and galaxies develop in the cosmic horsepo systems.

The possibility of this black hole was created by the galaxies in which supermasive black holes were about to collide and merge. Melo-carneero stated that researchers could usually guess the mass of black holes based on the mass of galaxies, but it was more large than a expected.

He says that this is important because it allows them to achieve more insight on how other large -scale black holes will be formed and what can happen to them in the future.

There are other large -scale black holes, such as Ton 618Which NASA says that 66 billion times and about 10 billion light years away from the Sun’s mass.

Melo-Karneero says that he is not claiming that what he found is big, just that it is one of the biggest records so far, and another piece of puzzle to understand the ultra from the ultraMasive black hole and how they work.

“Most of the black hole mass measurements are indirect and are very large uncertainty,” said Professor Thomas Cell, Professor Thomas Cell, Melo-Carniro supervisor and one media authors in a media release, so we do not really make sure which is the largest. “

“However, we have got a lot of certainty about the mass of this black hole which is thank you for our new method.”

New methods, current technology

Melo-carneero said, traditionally, black hole is measured using wires. The larger the black hole, the faster the stars revolve around it.

However, this technique is more accurate to nearby galaxies, so they combined it with another method, which was named Gravity lensing – Given how light from a distant galaxy is bent and distorted with gravity of black holes.

“Our method and the new thing with our work is that we use both to improve our measurement of black holes,” he said.

“It’s so much new that as far as I know that no one else has done before.”

Research also used the 2014 figures from the Hubble Telescope and 2017 data from very large telescopes in Chile, meaning they had several ways to verify their findings.

“I really appreciate it when scientists use such supplementary methods so that they said to validate their conclusions and make their science more secure,” said Deril Hagard, an associate professor of physics at McGill University and a Canadian Research Chairman at Multi-Mesnger Astrophysics.

“Every ‘greatest’ results attract our attention, but we have long struggled to understand how supermasive black holes grow and in particular, how they grow so soon.”

Melo-Karniro is more confident in research for this new method. One advantage is that it can measure the “passive” black hole such as he found – which are not actively growing and colliding – and include low perceptions about the operation of galaxies.

Milky Way’s black hole is also considered passive, but he says that there are large size differences between us and cosmic horsepo systems.

“I won’t say that we can learn about our future, but we can actually learn about the future of other mass galaxies in the universe.”

Not surprisingly for something

Priyamwara Natarajan is a theoretical astronomer physicist and Joseph of Astronomy and Physics at the University of Yale.

She said that she was excited to hear about the recent discovery, but it was not surprising, because the ultrassiv black hole is something she predicted. 2009 paper,

Natarajan reported that there is a connection between the size of the galaxies and the shape of black holes within them. There are usually two methods, black hole is large, frequent conflicts with other galaxies that merge black holes or gas are fed so that they can grow.

In that paper, he coined the word “Ultrassive Black Hole” and said that it fits within the equations predicted in his research and developed during it.

While she says that it is not an external, Natarajan says that the implication of this discovery for black holes research is that it can prove to be a powerful way to find black hole and measure their mass.

“I think it tells us that we can start looking for more and more of these systems,” he said. “They are powerful in terms of telling us more about how the matter takes place at the center of these galaxies.”
