From Engineering Dropout to ‘Black Hole Star’ Discovery: MIT Astronomer Rohan Naidu Leads James Webb Telescope Study | 🔬 LatestLY
Astronomers using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have identified an extraordinarily luminous red object from the early universe that may represent an entirely new class of celestial phenomenon: a "black hole star." 🔬 From Engineering Dropout to ‘Black Hole Star’ Discovery: MIT Astronomer Rohan Naidu Leads James Webb Telescope Study.
Meet Rohan Naidu, Hyderabad dropout behind black hole study
Hyderabad: Hyderabad-born astronomer Rohan Naidu, who once dropped out of engineering college to pursue his passion for the cosmos, is at the centre of a discovery that is challenging conventional ideas about how stars and black holes behave. Late last week, a team of astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) identified a mysterious object that appeared to blur the line between a star and a black hole. Roughly the size of the solar…
Meet Rohan Naidu, the MIT astronomer who left engineering at 18; now he is helping uncover how the Universe's earliest black holes formed
Rohan Naidu, an astronomer from Hyderabad, is making significant contributions to our understanding of the early universe. His recent study focuses on a cosmic dawn object that reveals a supermassive black hole enveloped by dense gas. This important research not only sheds light on the rapid growth of early black holes but may also provide insights into the enigmatic 'little red dots' recently detected by the Webb telescope.
Small red dots in the early universe seemed to confuse astronomy. Now their explanation turns out to be spectacularIn the depths of the universe, researchers have discovered an extreme, novel celestial object: The "Black-hole-star" is a mixture of black holes and stars, a star-like plasma ball whose extent corresponds to that of our solar system. However, it emits 100 billion times more energy than any known star can produce physically.The resea…
