The supermassive black hole at the center of the galaxy LID-568 is devouring material beyond its theoretical limits
An article published in the journal “Nature Astronomy” reports the results of the study of the dwarf galaxy cataloged as LID-568, which has at its center a supermassive black hole that is devouring materials at a rate that is more than 40 times faster than its theoretical limits. A team of researchers led by astronomer Hyewon Suh of the International Gemini Observatory/NSF NOIRLab combined observations conducted with the Chandra and James Webb space telescopes to obtain precise data on this voracious supermassive black hole. We see it as it was about 1.5 billion years after the Big Bang and its discovery indicates a way in which these very extreme objects manage to grow so quickly.
