The JWST Little Red Dots Could Be 'Black Hole Stars'
Little red dots have puzzled astronomers since their discovery in JWST data from the Universe’s deep past. Their ‘powering engines’ might resemble a newly discovered phenomenon dubbed a “black hole star”—an early, rapidly growing black hole wrapped in dense gas. This object, described in a study published today in Nature by researchers at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA) and international collaborators, may help explain how…
Unusual black hole found at universe’s dawn presents dusty mystery to astronomers
An international team of astronomers has found an unusual object that may help explain what at least some of these red dots actually are: unusually young and rapidly growing black holes surrounded by an enormous amount of dense gas
The combination of a black hole and a massive star is a previously unseen phenomenon and could explain the mysterious red dots that often appear in deep-space images, according to a Nature article. The black hole appears as a three-dimensional red cloud with a dark sphere at its center. Astronomers have discovered a possible "star-black hole," an extremely bright object from the early universe with characteristics of both a star and a black hole…
Scientific Sensation: NASA Discovers a New Class of Objects – a Black Hole Star
Astronomers have stumbled upon a cosmic phenomenon potentially unknown to science, which has been dubbed a “black hole star.” NASA’s James Webb Space Observatory has detected an extremely bright, reddish object deep within the early universe, which is a giant gas shell with a black hole at its center. In terms of size, this structure […] Post Scientific Sensation: NASA Discovers a New Class of Objects – a Black Hole Star at Root-Nation.com.
Webb Finds a “Black Hole Star” in the Young Universe
Webb has identified MoM-BH*-1, a possible “black hole star” from the young universe. The discovery may explain the mysterious little red dots and how the first supermassive black holes grew so quickly. The post Webb Finds a “Black Hole Star” from the Young Universe—and It May Explain the Little Red Dots appeared first on Curiosmos.
A significant breakthrough in astronomy was announced with the first detection of three supermassive black holes in full activity, all located in a single distant galaxy. The discovery, carried out by an international team, offers new insights into the formation and evolution of galaxies at the beginning of the cosmos. Led by the Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial [...]
