Techno live – For astronomer I found black hole who is devouring bintang poor. Black hole it is located 850 million light-years from Earth in the galaxy SDSS J152120.07+140410.5.
Back then, the black hole was trapping and tearing the star apart after it got too close, emitting the intense beams of light astronomers used to find it.
The researchers spotted the flare, which it calls AT 2020neh, using the Young Supernova experiment. They describe the discovery Nov. 10 in the journal Nature Astronomy.
“The fact that we were able to capture this medium-sized black hole as it was gobbling up a star gives us an amazing opportunity to detect what’s hidden,” said study author Charlotte Angus.
Furthermore, they used the properties of the flares themselves to better understand the elusive middle-class group of black holes, which could explain most of the black holes at the center of galaxies.
When a black hole eats into a star, the space object produces a phenomenon called a Tidal Disruption Event (TDE), which occurs when the black hole’s powerful gravity acts on the helpless star.
