Space telescopes stumble on rule-breaking black hole
An international team of researchers using NASA’s James Webb Space
Telescope (JWST) and the Chandra X-ray Observatory has discovered a bizarre black hole that may provide insights into the genesis and growth of supermassive black holes.

An international team of researchers using NASA’s James Webb Space

Telescope (JWST) and the Chandra X-ray Observatory has discovered a bizarre

black hole that may provide insights into the genesis and growth of

supermassive black holes. LID-568 is a low-mass supermassive black hole that

existed just 1.5 billion years after the Big Bang. An analysis of its effects

on its neighbourhood has indicated that it was feeding on a surrounding cloud

of matter at almost 40 times greater than what astrophysicists calculated.

Black holes

·       About: Black holes are

formed after the supernova explosion when the core of a massive dying star more

than 2.5 times the mass of the Sun collapses until an infinite density where

gravity is so high that even light cannot escape. Predicted by Einstein, its

theoretical structure was prepared independently by Tolman, Oppenheimer,

Volkoff and S. Chandrasekhar.

Types of Black Holes: They are of different types, primarily based on

their mass and the process of their formation.

·         Stellar Black

Holes - These are often identified by observing the high-energy phenomena that

occur as they interact with other stars or accrete matter from their surroundings.

·         Supermassive

Black Holes - They play a crucial role in the formation and evolution of galaxies,

influencing star formation and galaxy dynamics.

·         Intermediate

Black Holes - They are of great interest to astronomers as they could provide a

missing link in our understanding of black hole evolution.

·         Primordial Black

Holes - They could offer insights into the conditions of the early universe and

the nature of dark matter.

 Significance of Black Hole: They have a significant role in various aspects of

astrophysics and astronomy. These include-

·         Insights into

Stellar evolution - The formation and evolution of stellar black holes

offer valuable information about the life cycles of massive stars and supernova

mechanics.

·         Galaxy dynamics

and evolution - Supermassive black holes at the centres of galaxies significantly

influence the dynamics and evolution of their host galaxies, affecting star

formation rates and the distribution of matter.

·         Gravitational

wave astronomy - The merging of black holes is a primary source of gravitational waves,

offering a new way to observe and understand the universe, complementing

traditional electromagnetic observations.

·         Testing quantum

mechanics - The study of black holes, particularly the information paradox,

challenges and refines our understanding of quantum mechanics.
