Dr. Kara, a research assistant professor at Wonderbilt University. As Karam Jani, explained to Engad, the sign itself was low – only four random lines, of which only the second part was a tenth – but its implications for our understanding of the universe are many. “We were able to confirm that this was due to a collision between two black holes,” Jani said. “They are both very large; Something that we know stars can’t make. ”
The weight of an individual black hole is about 85 and 65 times the mass of the Sun’s mass, respectively. The theoretical weight of both colpers is above the limit. When they broke together in the field of 5 gigaparsex space five billion years ago, they released “eight solar masses” in the form of a gravitational wave and gave birth to the larger IMBH the team discovered, according to a Wonderbilt press release.
Johnny explains that IMBHs exist in what is known as the “black hole desert” which gives us no observational confirmation of the existence of IMBH before. Johnny posted, “We just don’t know … like it’s the distance of nature.” “doing [nature] Is there a definite choice to create just a few black holes in these different people? “
Of course, the universe is a big place and just because we have no IMBH to date. Not being found does not mean we are not looking for them. Astronomers have identified 305 potential candidates based on an analysis of more than a million images taken during the Sloan Digital Sky survey. However, their presence was noted based on the emission of the ultraluminous X-ray source (ULX) and the activity of globular clusters, never directly observed. Astronomers discovered such a bright candidate in 2009 on the edge of the ESO 243-49 galaxy 290 million light years (below).

“This type of exploration is necessary,” said Sean Farrell, lead author at the University of Leicester in 2009. While it is already known that stellar-mass black holes are remnants of giant stars, the mechanism of formation of supermassive black holes is still unknown. “The identification of HLX-1 is therefore an important step towards a better understanding of the formation of supermassive black holes that exist at the center of the Milky Way and other galaxies.”
“This is a landmark of modern astronomy and personal goals after six years of intensive research to hunt down this elusive black hole,” Jani said. “The system we discovered is so bizarre that it breaks many previous assumptions about how black holes form.” He notes that the process of creating IMBH is 500 times more rare than stellar or supermassive black holes – with the paradox of preventing a golf ball shot from Argentina in mid-flight with another golf ball shot from China.
“We have examined every known scenario that would have created this black hole, but there is no definitive explanation for it yet.” “What we do know for sure is that whatever creates this intermediate-mass black hole is a very rare process. We will need to find a lot more to understand their origins. “
