Detecting black holes 'monsters' 350 million times more massive than the Sun.
According to British researchers, this black hole is many times larger than the black holes scientists have known.
A recent study by astronomers from the University of Keele and the University of Central Lancashire (UK) has discovered a supermassive black hole in the center of a galaxy called SAGE0536AGN.
The massive black hole is 350 million times bigger than the Sun.
Accordingly, this black hole is much larger than what scientists once knew. Compared to the Sun, it has a mass of about 350 million times.
Further research, experts discovered, the SAGE0536AGN galaxy is 9 billion years old, discovered by the Spiter telescope of the US Aerospace Agency (NASA).
The team claims that the existence of a black hole in the center of the galaxy is by measuring the velocity of the vortex surrounding it. Later, they used a large telescope in southern Africa to gather more information and determine the size of the black hole.
According to experts, giant black holes often tend to grow in the size of the galaxy around it. With this enormous size, it is possible that black holes have swallowed up gas and other surrounding matter at the center of the galaxy at an amazing speed.
Dr Jacco van loon of the University of Keele, the study's lead author, said: "The galaxies are large in mass, and the black holes in the core must be large. The activity of the galaxy should have been not so unusual. "
Besides, experts also realized that this "monster" black hole was extremely bright. The scientific explanation explains that it is because the surrounding gas layer has a large gravitational field, so the large acceleration causes the black hole to emit light . Currently, experts continue to study more about this " monster " black hole.
The study is published in the report of the Royal Astronomical Society of England.
