Discovered a Blazar… that should not even exist

This surprising discovery can change some notions that astronomers have about the growth of black holes.

It is seen as a surprising, even revolutionary discovery: astronomers have discovered a blazar that, supposedly, It shouldn’t even exist. It’s too youngeven early.

In astronomy, a Blazar is a rare and powerful type of active galactic nucleus (AGN). A celestial body with a very compact energy source – and variable, fed by a supermassive black hole in the center of an active galaxy.

These AGN emit intense amounts of energy as the black hole attracts surrounding matter through a process called accretion, converting it into energy.

Some agn also produce potent particle jets that are expelled by the black hole.

Blazars are a special type of AGN that become exceptionally bright when their jets are directly directed to Earth, making them a rare and valuable observation to astronomers.

In this, the blazar in question only appeared billion million years after Big Bang.

The investigators were looking for an AGN of the primitive universe. Identified a candidate, the J0410–0139, which showed significant radio glow fluctuations, a signature of a Blazar.

The team used a wide range of telescopes, including infrared, x-ray and radio observatories to confirm that it was a Blazar.

This discovery question Many previous scientific evidence, stresses the.

For just a thousand million years after Big Bang, suggests that many other similar objects may have existed in the primitive universeforming a hidden population of agn with jets; even if their jets were not directed to the earth.

And can change the study on how supermassive black holes will have grown so quickly At the beginning of the universe, in the center of the galaxies. The agn with jets could have won mass faster than the jets.
