Birth of Giants: Supermassive black holes formed differently than previously thought
New discoveries suggest that supermassive black holes formed differently thanpreviously thought. Orsolya Kovács from Masaryk University, who discovered one of the distant "giants" with the Chandra satellite and the James Webb Telescope, has published her findings in the prestigious Astrophysical Journal Letters.
The Chandra X-ray Observatory, in conjunction with the James Webb Space Telescope, has detected two supermassive black holes in the past six months, remarkably close to the epoch of their formation, when the universe was about 500 million years old. The analysis of the data obtained by the Chandra satellite was carried out by Orsolya Kovács from the High Energy Astrophysics Research Group, Institute of Theoretical Physics and Astrophysics, Faculty of Science, Masaryk University.
