Astrophysicists uncover supermassive blackhole/dark matter connection in solving the 'final parsec problem'
Researchers have found a link between some of the largest and smallest objects in the cosmos: supermassive black holes and dark matter particles. Their new calculations reveal that pairs of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) can merge into a single larger black hole because of previously overlooked behavior of dark matter particles, proposing a solution to the longstanding 'final parsec problem' in astronomy.
Astrophysicists May Have Solved ‘Final Parsec Problem’ of Supermassive Black Hole Mergers
New calculations reveal that pairs of supermassive black holes can merge into a larger black hole because of previously overlooked behavior of dark matter particles, proposing a solution to the long-standing ‘final parsec problem.’ The post Astrophysicists May Have Solved ‘Final Parsec Problem’ of Supermassive Black Hole Mergers appeared first on Sci.News: Breaking Science News.
On one side, you have gigantic massive black holes and on the other side tiny particles of dark matter. It turns out they have a surprising link, which finally solves a long-standing problem in astronomy. It all began in 2023 with the discovery of a gravitational chirp of gravitational waves in space.
