Massive Black Hole
Rapidly growing black hole found, could explain how galaxies first evolved
Astronomers have discovered a rapidly growing black hole in one of the most extreme galaxies known in the very early Universe, according to a new study. The discovery of the galaxy and the black hole at its centre provided new clues on the formation of the very first supermassive black holes, the researchers from the University of Texas, US, and the University of Arizona, US, said. Using observations taken with the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA), a radio observatory sited in Chile, the team have determined that the galaxy, named COS-87259, containing this new supermassive black hole is very extreme, forming stars at a rate 1000 times that of our own Milky Way and containing over a billion solar masses worth of interstellar dust, the study said. The galaxy shines bright from both this intense burst of star formation and the growing supermassive black hole at its centre, the study said. The new work is published in the journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical ...
