How thousands of Black Holes were formed

A team of astronomers has discovered a black hole that they have defined as a "mini monster", in this story I warn you that sizes are important. The black hole is within the supermassive category, but it does not reach the millions of solar masses that normal supermassives have, this monster is relatively small, it has about 200,000 times the mass of the sun but it is found in a dwarf galaxy MRK 462, which It houses a few hundred million stars, that is, about a thousand times less than the stars that exist in our galaxy, the Milky Way.

Researchers to make this finding use a NASA Chandra x-ray observatory in order to identify the black hole that is in the center of this dwarf galaxy, it is actually buried between gas and dust, so scientists they have been able to capture thanks to the x-rays that are capable of passing through the dense clouds that surround it.

This finding sheds light on two intriguing issues, the first, that because buried black holes like this one are very difficult to detect, it is assumed that there may be many more dwarf galaxies with similar black holes, and the second and even more intriguing issue, is that it helps to unravel the mystery of how black holes grew so rapidly in the early universe, because you see it was amazing for astronomers to discover that black holes that were born from massive stars a hundred times larger than the sun, could have masses of up to a billion suns in just a few billion years.

One explanation would be that the early universe was littered with black holes containing tens of thousands of solar masses when they were created, perhaps by the collapse, not of stars, but of gigantic clouds of gas and dust, but this would be a physically rare possibility. , this new finding opens the possibility that the dwarf galaxies served as seedbeds where the intermediate massive black holes grew, later with the merger of dwarf galaxies and their black holes they could be formed from the larger cravings and larger black holes, supermassive black holes. At the moment they are possibilities that are being investigated, the truth is that cosmic monsters exist, how they became so large so quickly and what implications it has for understanding how the beginnings and perhaps the end of our universe were; These are questions that currently intrigue scientists.
