New research from A team at the Harvard Center for Astronomical Physics suggests that the large majestic cloud, a dwarf galaxy adjacent to the two ways, hosts an attractive structure hundreds of thousands of times the mass of the sun: a possible luxurious black hole.
The most widely accepted theory of Hungarian development takes into account that super black holes are only present in the largest galaxies, such as the Milky Way. So far, there has been no reason to imagine that a small group like a large Magellanic cloud can host one. When X -ray telescopes or bets are trained in smaller groups such as the large Magellanic cloud, they did not find any signatures related to the activity of the black hole.
But then the excessive stars came. For nearly 20 years, astronomers have discovered quick travel stars with a sufficient acceleration to get them out of their galaxies. While the traditional star moves about 100 km per second, the excessive entertainment star travels to 10 times faster. Experts believe that such stars appear through “Canteded Outward” through the superior gravitational structure under the hills mechanism – where the dual star system interacts with a black hole, with one star captured by the black hole and the other away from it.
Inside the Milky Way itself, there are excessive stars that may have arisen here. Studies indicate that they were accelerated by the Sagittarius A*, the super black hole in the center of the galaxy. But at least 21 stars of the excessive level discovered on what does not correspond to the output of a super -short black hole, but it cannot be linked to the fundamental activity of the milky method. In the team simulations, it is reasonable that these stars are raised instead of the large Magellanic cloud.
For the team, led by Jiwon Jesse Han, this is one of the first main evidence of a super black hole in our neighboring dwarf galaxy. According to the team’s initial calculations, this black hole structure can range between 251,000 and 1 million solar masses. The average mass will be 600,000 times the size of the sun.
the study– which is currently in Preprint but will be published in the physical physical magazine – Using data from the European Space Agency’s GAIA mission, which aims to appoint millions of stars for its movement.
Of course, there can be other interpretations of the phenomenon. Stars who escape from their galaxies can also arise from Supernova or any other strong active mechanism enough to remove them. However, the authors of the paper explain that this does not seem to be with the stars of Fartchiti, which seems to come from the big majestic cloud.
The large Magellanic cloud is an irregular galaxy that revolves around the Milky Way, along with other dwarf stars groups, such as the bow, Karina or Draco. It is 163,000 light years of Earth with a diameter of about 14,000 light years. Astronomers believe that in the far future – in about 2.4 billion years – the large Magellanic cloud and the Milky Way route will merge in one larger group, along with other larger structures, such as Galaxy Andromeda. Experts believe that the merger will be slow, and on a planetary scale, they will not pose any problems.
