Astronomers Find Early Fast-Feeding Black Hole Using NASA …
1 day ago · The black hole, called LID-568, was hidden among thousands of objects in the Chandra X-ray Observatory’s COSMOS legacy survey, a catalog resulting from some 4.6 million Chandra observations. This population of galaxies is very bright in the X-ray light, but invisible in optical and previous near-infrared observations.
A super-Eddington-accreting black hole ~1.5 Gyr after the Big …
Nov 4, 2024 · Here we present LID-568, a low-mass (7.2 × 106 M⊙) black hole hosting powerful outflows that is observed in an extreme phase of rapid growth at redshift z ≈ 4.
Webb Telescope Shows a Black Hole Breaking a Theoretical Limit
2 days ago · The supermassive black hole LID-568 existed about 1.5 billion years after the Big Bang. The Big Bang, the event that started the universe, took place around 13.8 billion years ago.
This Black Hole Is Eating Stuff at Over 40 Times The Theoretical …
A supermassive black hole in the early Universe is the most voracious of its kind we've ever seen. It's sitting in the middle of a galaxy called LID-568, as seen just 1.5 billion years after the Big Bang, appearing to guzzle down material at a jaw-dropping rate of over 40 times a theoretical maximum known as the Eddington limit.
'Fastest-feeding' black hole of the early universe found! But does …
Nov 6, 2024 · Currently, LID-568 stands at 7.2 million times the mass of the sun, compared to the 4.1-million-solar-mass of Sagittarius A*, which is the black hole at the center of our Milky Way galaxy. However ...
Astronomers discover the fastest-feeding black hole in the early ...
Nov 4, 2024 · The discovery of LID-568 also shows that it's possible for a black hole to exceed its Eddington limit, and provides the first opportunity for astronomers to study how this happens.
Webb telescope reveals rapid growth of primordial black hole
Nov 5, 2024 · The new Webb observations involve a supermassive black hole called LID-568 that existed when the cosmos was about 11% its current age - about 1.5 billion years after the Big Bang event 13.8 ...
NSF NOIRLab Astronomers Discover the Fastest-Feeding Black Hole …
Nov 4, 2024 · The discovery of LID-568 also shows that it’s possible for a black hole to exceed its Eddington limit, and provides the first opportunity for astronomers to study how this happens. It’s possible that the powerful outflows observed in LID-568 may be acting as a release valve for the excess energy generated by the extreme accretion ...
A rapidly growing black hole observed in the early Universe
Nov 4, 2024 · One such object that was followed up, and is the subject of this work, is LID-568: a supermassive black hole of approximately 10 million times the mass of the Sun, undergoing an incredibly intense ...
Chandra :: Photo Album :: LID-568 :: November 4, 2024
Nov 4, 2024 · Using data from NASA's JWST and Chandra X-ray Observatory, a team of astronomers have discovered this low-mass supermassive black hole at the center of a galaxy just 1.5 billion years after the Big Bang. It is pulling in matter at a phenomenal rate — over 40 times the theoretical limit.
