An article published in “The Astrophysical Journal” reports the discovery of high-speed gas flows pushed by the supermassive black hole at the center of a galaxy over 13 billion light-years from Earth. A team of researchers led by Takuma Izumi of the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan (NAOJ) used the ALMA radio telescope to observe the galaxy HSC J124353.93+010038.5, or simply J1243+0100. It’s the oldest known galaxy so far with a wind of that size. This shows how supermassive black holes can heavily influence the galaxies that host them and that this has been happening since the universe was very young.
