Detecting a small, black hole,

Astronomers were extremely surprised by the "light" absorption of the newly discovered black hole.

>>>Evidence of the power of black holes "super terrible"

The China National Astronomical Observatory recently published a new discovery of a black hole (also known as a black hole) in a small size. The strange thing is that this black hole has a very "gentle and gentle" way of absorbing matter, which is different from the previous description, as well as expected when observed by the research team.

In theory, black holes when near a material within a certain distance will immediately "swallow" everything, in order to maintain its enormous energy. Head of the research group, scientist Stephen Justham, is looking forward to witnessing a complex and sophisticated "swallowing of material" process, but actually happens quite quickly and gently.

Typically, X-ray sources emit two types of hard X-rays (high energy) and soft X-rays (low energy). In theory, larger black holes often produce more soft X-ray rays, while smaller black holes often produce hard X-ray rays. However, this small, newly discovered black hole (called M101 ULX-1) is primarily a soft X-ray.

The material swallowing process is expected to emit a brilliant X-ray light source

In addition, low-mass black holes (20-30 times heavier than the Sun) will swallow up all matter quickly and this process will emit a brilliant source of bright X-rays. But somehow, this black hole has a near-maximum speed, but the observation process is relatively light and simple.

Astronomers are still studying and hope to find convincing evidence of this contrast. It is known that medium-sized black holes have sources of X-rays like M101 ULX -1 that are 100-1,000 times more massive than the Sun.

Extremely powerful X-ray sources (ULX) are believed to be the hiding places of medium-sized black holes. M101 ULX-1 is one of the most potential places to search for these objects.

Many scientists believe that it is only a matter of time before we find evidence of medium-sized black holes in the X M101 ULX-1 emission source. However, a question arises, why do mass black holes equivalent to a star can swallow other objects so gently? Research is still ongoing and hopefully opens up the opportunity for people to get closer to the variety of mysterious objects in the vast universe.
