'A real revolution': The James Webb telescope is upending our understanding of the biggest, oldest black holes in the universe

Astronomers Solve the Mystery of How Black Holes Got Big So Fast

Black holes in the early Universe appear to have grown far faster than scientists once believed. Astronomers have long struggled to explain how black holes became enormous so early in the Universe’s history. Observations show that some reached supermassive proportions in a cosmic blink of an eye, leaving scientists searching for a mechanism powerful enough [...]

This Black Hole Is Breaking The Universe’s Rulebook For Growth

Deep in the early universe, a black hole is gorging itself on matter at a rate that should be impossible. The post This Black Hole Is Breaking The Universe’s Rulebook For Growth appeared first on StudyFinds.

'A real revolution': The James Webb telescope is upending our understanding of the biggest, oldest black holes in the universe

For years, the James Webb Space Telescope has been spotting enormous black holes in the early universe that defy all expectations. Now, astronomers are finally deciphering the origins of these cosmic behemoths.

New Cosmological Simulations Shed Light on Growth of Black Holes in Early Universe

New state-of-the-art simulations by Maynooth University astronomers show that in the dense, turbulent dawn of the cosmos, ‘light seed’ black holes could rapidly swallow matter and rival the colossal black holes seen in the center of early galaxies.

Computer models reveal how early black holes grew so quickly after the Big Bang

Astronomers have long chased a hard question: how did black holes grow so huge so fast. Researchers at Maynooth University in Ireland say they now have a clearer answer. Their work; led by PhD candidate Daxal Mehta in Maynooth University’s Department of Physics; was reported in Nature Astronomy. “We found that the chaotic conditions that existed in the early Universe triggered early, smaller black holes to grow into the super-massive black holes…
