Science Writing, 10 Nov (EFE).- The most distant — and therefore older — compact quasar pair, which was formed only 900 million years after the Big Bang, has been discovered with data from the Gemini North telescope in Hawaii and the James Webb Space Telescope. The international team that publishes a series of [...] The post Discovering the oldest compact quasar pair in the universe was first published in HolaNews.
Their mass is so large compared to the age of the Universe at that time that it is still an unsolved problem for theoretical models.
Astronomers Discover Nāpōwawāʻenakaulua, the Oldest Compact Quasar Pair in the Universe - The Gemini North telescope on Maunakea and James Webb Space Telescope observed the pair of rapidly feeding supermassive black holes just 900 million years after the Big Bang
The oldest pair of compact quasars ever observed has been found only 900 million years after the Big Bang. Scientists say there is no theoretical explanation for how the pair of actively feeding black holes grew so massive at such an early time in the history of the Universe. The pair of quasars has been given the Hawaiian nickname Nāpōwawāʻenakaulua.
