Astronomers have discovered the most massive and brightest black hole on the outskirts of the universe. The discovery demonstrates that such "monsters" could be formed soon after the Big Bang.
This is stated in the article of American specialists of Arizona
University, published in the latest issue of the journal Nature.
The attention of scientists drew distant quasar SDSS J0100 + 2802. Quasar
called active galactic nucleus - usually corresponds to
supermassive black hole actively radiating energy in the absorption
the surrounding material.
SDSS J0100 + 2802 is removed from us the distance of 12.8 billion light years.
Quasar was first discovered by a 2.4-meter telescope in Lijiang
China - previously so distant objects never opened such
low-power telescopes.
When the scientists have put an object other telescopes, they found out that they have
a record deal with a bright quasar, which emits light of 420 trillion times stronger,
than the sun. It corresponds to the black hole mass of 12 billion suns. None
of 40 quasars discovered to date to the same distance as the SDSS
J0100 + 2802 for brightness and weight does not go with him any comparison.
Open quasar existed just 900 million years after the Big
explosion in the era of reionization, when only just started to appear the first stars
and galaxies. While astronomers do not know where SDSS J0100 + 2802 took so much
substances to "grow" to their size.
