By analyzing data from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) from the US Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and Chandra they discovered a supermassive black hole.
According to the journal Science Daily, the black hole known as LID-568 was discovered by the team led by Hyewon Suh, one of the NOIRLab astronomers of the Gemini International Observatory and the US National Science Foundation (NSF).
Astronomers discovered that the short-lived LID-568 was consuming matter at an astonishing rate, more than 40 times the theoretical rate, just 1.5 billion years after the Big Bang. The research said that the “festival” of LID-568 provides information on how supermassive black holes formed in the early universe.
The team used JWST data to perform a detailed galaxy study obtained from the Chandra X-ray Observatory’s survey of 4,016 X-ray sources. The faint infrared light of this galaxy, which emits very bright X-rays, was captured by JWST’s sensitive infrared spectrometer (NIRSpec).
Analyzing the NIRSpec data, the team found extremely high luminosity and unexpectedly strong gas flows around the central black hole.
