Scientists have discovered the oldest and largest glowing fake star "Blazer", a supermassive black hole and one of the most emitting energy and rays in the universe.
Scientists were able to discover this star, which is estimated to be about 13 billion years old, after they detected high radio waves emitting it, which means that it is incredibly bright even from very long distances in space.
A team of scientists led by a graduate student at the University of Insupria, Italy, Silvia Pelladita, announced the discovery of the star in the Journal of Astronomy and Astrophysics, and it was called "PSO J030947.49 + 271757.3", and is the first known star in such a "shift to red", which is A scale that measures the distance of light objects based on the distorted color of light, a phenomenon that reflects the increase in the length of the electromagnetic wave coming to us from one of the celestial bodies due to the speed of its distance from us.
The plasma is a special class of active galaxy nuclei, representing the centers of specific galaxies through supermassive black holes that feed on large quantities of gas, dust, and stars.
When this substance is located in the black hole, it becomes very active and vital, which leads to the release of luminous amounts of matter and radiation traveling at speeds close to the speed of light.
What separates the bazars from the nuclei of ordinary active galaxies is their orientation towards Earth, according to the Weiss website.
"Observing the plasma is very important, as for every source of this type it is discovered, we know that there must be 100 others similar to it, but most of them have different directions, and therefore too weak to be seen directly," Peladeta said in a statement.
Peladeta and her colleagues were able to discover this plasma by combining data from several different observatories, then it was confirmed that this star is by far the oldest plasma ever discovered, and then it turned out to be "the most powerful emitter of an amplified radio signal ever," according to the study.
The combined observations made it possible for the team to estimate that the massive black hole in the star’s core is about a billion times larger than the sun, and by comparison, the black hole in the center of the Milky Way is only 4 million times more than the sun’s mass.
"Thanks to our discovery, we can say that in the first billion years of life in the universe, there were a large number of extremely massive black holes that emit very strong emissions," Peladeta added.
She added: "This result places severe restrictions on theoretical models that attempt to explain the origin of these huge black holes in our world."
