Although we haven't noticed it, this may be the first time we have evidence of its existence.
Within the Milky Way galaxy, which we must remember is about 100,000 light years across, we can encounter all kinds of celestial objects and phenomena. However, in Omega Centauri AreaAn international group of astronomers could have stumbled upon One of the most complicated things to note is From the universe.
The most private black holes
If we talk about black holes, almost everyone knows what they are, even if we don't know how to define them for sure. We are talking about Regions of the universe where is the Gravity is very strong who Not even light can escape..
It is common among astronomers around the world to discover black holes with masses ranging from 5 to 100 times the mass of the sun, or to find giant statues in the universe with masses hundreds of thousands of times the mass of the sun. However, if we want to find Black holes are somewhere in between.It seems that His presence eludes usIt's these intermediate-mass black holes that are driving the scientific community crazy.
On this occasion, thanks to Article published in the scientific journal Naturediscovered by an international team of astronomers. Tracks About the Existence One of these elusive black holes, nicknamed IMBHwithin the Milky Way galaxy, specifically in a region known as Omega Centauri globular cluster.
this rubble It contains about 10 million stars and was Indexed by astronomers Through images obtained using the Hubble Space Telescope. But, on this occasion, something strange appeared when the images were indexed. Maximilian Haberle, in Data collected on the Hubble Telescope websiteStates “We have discovered seven stars that should not be there.”.
We are The stars moved very fast.who It didn't make sense that they didn't run away. From this spherical mass, which clarification The logic behind this phenomenon is that a The huge target attracted them. Gravity. According to the study's lead researcher, there is only one Black hole The object can be specified and should be 8200 times the solar mass.
And yes, the 8200 figure is within the range of intermediate-mass black holes, which have been theorized before, but for which we had no evidence. next step The tools and information will be used from James Webb Telescope In order to learn more about IMBH, we seek to determine its mass and exact location in the Omega Centauri globular cluster.
