Astronomers discovered a giant cosmic storm caused by a supermassive black hole 13.1 billion light years ago. This is the earliest example of a powerful galactic wind from the currently observed. Details about the opening are published in the repository of preprints ARXIV.
Observations for Kvasar HSC J124353.93 + 010038.5 (J1243 + 0100) were carried out using the ALMA radio telescope complex (Atacama Large Millimeter / SubmilLimeter Array) in the Chilean Desert Atacama. The red offset of the object is 7.07, which corresponds to the time of the light beam path by almost 13 billion years and the radial distance to the object (taking into account the Hubble law), equal to about 30 billion light years (from the moment the object emptied the photons reached the earth, The universe managed to expand). This quasar is the most neuropric among all that have a red shift more than seven.
J1243 + 0100 was found by the Subaru NaOJ telescope, when astronomers led to supermarital black holes in galaxies located in remote areas of the Universe. It turned out that the quasar generates a high-speed gas stream moving at a speed of 500 kilometers per second and emitting radio waves when a collision with galactic dust. The stream turned out to be enough energy to blur the interstellar substance from the galaxy and stop the processes of education of new stars.
The team of scientists based on the movement of calm gas, also estimated the mass of galactic balding – the central bright bulge, which is known to be approximately proportional to the mass of the supermassive black hole. Balzha mass turned out to be comparable with a mass of 30 billion suns, and the mass of supermasstive black hole was one percent of this value. The ratio of the mass of the Balza to the supermassive black hole in J1243 + 0100 is almost identical to the ratio of mass of black holes and galaxies in the modern universe. This means that the coevolution of galaxies and supermassive black holes took place in the early universe, less than one billion years after the big explosion.
Coevolution explains why the masses of central black holes and balding are proportional, despite the fact that their dimensions are distinguished by several orders of magnitude. The unusual dependence between the growth of the black hole and the galaxy should result in a result of not yet known physical interaction. A new study confirms the theory according to which this interaction occurred about 13 billion years ago, in the early stages of the evolution of galaxies.
