Using the large ALMA radio telescope in Chile, astronomers at the Niels Bohr Institute in Denmark have discovered a swarm of galaxies orbiting a very bright galaxy.
The observation provides important clues as to how exceptionally bright galaxies grow and evolve into active quasars, “a quasar or quasar, the hot gas region that immediately surrounds a supermassive black hole that reaches temperatures of hundreds of thousands of degrees Celsius and emits light. “and radiates light through most of the visible universe.
Astronomers have identified W0410-0913, one of the brightest, most massive and richest galaxies in the world.
The dust is heated by the energy of the starlight and the central black hole, causing it to glow and emitting the galaxy through infrared light. This has led to this type of galaxy being called “hot dust-shielded galaxies”.
As part of their evolution, most galaxies appear to build a supermassive black hole at the center, swallowing gas and nearby stars and releasing excess energy in powerful jets, a phenomenon known as quasars.
