Black holes are some of the strangest and most mysterious. objects in the universe. As a rule, they fall into one of two extremes of their sizes: “small” black holes are those that dozens of times the mass of our sun, and “supermassive” black holes that are billions of times larger than our Sun.
For a long time the existence of intermediate black holes was neither affirmed nor disproved. However, the recent discovery of a black hole average mass confirmed that the class of intermediate black holes still exists. This discovery may provide the missing. a link that will explain how early in the centers of all galaxies or later supermassive black holes form.
A black hole is an area of space where the gravitational field is so powerful that neither matter nor light can escape from it, so black holes are invisible to observer.
Astronomers have discovered black holes whose stellar mass is from 10 up to 100 times the mass of the sun, as well as supermassive black holes that weigh from hundreds of thousands to billions of solar masses. According to a recent study, medium black holes have an intermediate mass exceeding the mass of our Sun by 400 times (plus or minus 100).
It is known that small and medium black holes form in as a result of compression of a massive star under its own gravity. However, this process cannot be an explanation. the emergence of giant black holes as our age The universe is not enough for a black hole to absorb space material in quantities that allow it to acquire such huge sizes.
How then are supermassive black holes formed?
Some theorists suggest that these monsters are the result. fusions of intermediate masses of black holes that appeared in the compression of giant clouds of gas in the early stages the birth of the universe.
Others say supergiants formed from stellar mass black holes that somehow managed to absorb the material with a higher frequency than the laws of physics allow.
For example, theoretical physicists from Yale University recently developed a new theoretical concept that suggests that black holes can actually grow faster than that suggests the so-called Eddington limit. That is, based on this theory, it turns out that under certain conditions of development a black hole, not all of its emitted energy goes into space – part energy is converted into kinetic flows that can exceed Eddington’s limit, allowing a black hole to swiftly build up your mass.
