Los investigadores utilizaron el instrumento de polarimetría del observatorio espacial IXPE, llamado POLAR, para estudiar la polarización de la luz de rayos X emitida por los chorros del sistema binario SS 433

Los resultados del estudio, publicado en la revista Nature Astronomy, mostraron que la luz de rayos X de los chorros está polarizada en un grado de hasta el 40%. La polarización de la luz de rayos X es una medida de la dirección en la que se vibra la luz. En el caso de los rayos X, la polarización puede proporcionar información sobre la fuente de la luz y el camino que ha recorrido. En el caso…

Survey finds more hidden supermassive black holes than expected

Multiple NASA telescopes recently helped scientists search the sky for supermassive black holes—those up to billions of times heavier than the sun. The new survey is unique because it was as likely to find massive black holes that are hidden behind thick clouds of gas and dust as those that are not.

Astronomers think that every large galaxy in the universe has a supermassive black hole at its center. But testing this hypothesis is difficult because researchers can't hope to count the billions or even trillions of supermassive black holes thought to exist in the universe. Instead they have to extrapolate from smaller samples to learn about the larger population. So accurately measuring the ratio of hidden supermassive black holes in a given sample helps scientists better estimate the total number of supermassive black holes in the universe.

The new study published in The Astrophysical Journal found that about 35% of supermassive black holes are heavily obscured, meaning the surrounding clouds of gas and dust are so thick they block even low-energy X-ray light.

Comparable searches have previously found less than 15% of supermassive black holes are so obscured. Scientists think the true split should be closer to 50/50 based on models of how galaxies grow. If observations continue to indicate significantly less than half of supermassive black holes are hidden, scientists will need to adjust some key ideas they have about these objects and the role they play in shaping galaxies.

Hidden treasure

Although black holes are inherently dark—not even light can escape their gravity—they can also be some of the brightest objects in the universe: When gas gets pulled into orbit around a supermassive black hole, like water circling a drain, the extreme gravity creates such intense friction and heat that the gas reaches hundreds of thousands of degrees and radiates so brightly it can outshine all the stars in the surrounding galaxy.

The clouds of gas and dust that surround and replenish the bright central disk may roughly take the shape of a torus, or doughnut. If the doughnut hole is facing toward Earth, the bright central disk within it is visible; if the doughnut is seen edge-on, the disk is obscured.

Most telescopes can rather easily identify face-on supermassive black holes, though not edge-on ones. But there's an exception to this that the authors of the new paper took advantage of: The torus absorbs light from the central source and reemits lower-energy light in the infrared range (wavelengths slightly longer than what human eyes can detect). Essentially, the doughnuts glow in infrared.

These wavelengths of light were detected by NASA's Infrared Astronomical Satellite, or IRAS, which operated for 10 months in 1983 and was managed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California. A survey telescope that imaged the entire sky, IRAS was able to see the infrared emissions from the clouds surrounding supermassive black holes. Most importantly, it could spot edge-on and face-on black holes equally well.

For a given line-of-sight column density, each panel shows the fraction of detected hard 14–195 keV flux relative to the escaping flux at the minimum column density allowed by each model (NH,0). Credit: The Astrophysical Journal (2024). DOI: 10.3847/1538-4357/ad8236

IRAS caught hundreds of initial targets. Some of them turned out to be not heavily obscured black holes but galaxies with high rates of star formation that emit a similar infrared glow. So the authors of the new study used ground-based, visible-light telescopes to identify those galaxies and separate them from the hidden black holes.

To confirm edge-on, heavily obscured black holes, the researchers relied on NASA's NuSTAR (Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array), an X-ray observatory also managed by JPL. X-rays are radiated by some of the hottest material around the black hole. Lower-energy X-rays are absorbed by the surrounding clouds of gas and dust, while the higher-energy X-rays observed by NuSTAR can penetrate and scatter off the clouds. Detecting these X-rays can take hours of observation, so scientists working with NuSTAR first need a telescope like IRAS to tell them where to look.

"It amazes me how useful IRAS and NuSTAR were for this project, especially despite IRAS being operational over 40 years ago," said study lead Peter Boorman, an astrophysicist at Caltech in Pasadena, California. "I think it shows the legacy value of telescope archives and the benefit of using multiple instruments and wavelengths of light together."

Numerical advantage

Determining the number of hidden black holes compared to nonhidden ones can help scientists understand how these black holes get so big. If they grow by consuming material, then a significant number of black holes should be surrounded by thick clouds and potentially obscured. Boorman and his co-authors say their study supports this hypothesis.

In addition, black holes influence the galaxies they live in, mostly by impacting how galaxies grow. This happens because black holes surrounded by massive clouds of gas and dust can consume vast—but not infinite—amounts of material. If too much falls toward a black hole at once, the black hole starts coughing up the excess and firing it back out into the galaxy. That can disperse gas clouds within the galaxy where stars are forming, slowing the rate of star formation there.

"If we didn't have black holes, galaxies would be much larger," said Poshak Gandhi, a professor of astrophysics at the University of Southampton in the United Kingdom and a co-author on the new study. "So if we didn't have a supermassive black hole in our Milky Way galaxy, there might be many more stars in the sky. That's just one example of how black holes can influence a galaxy's evolution."

🌏 A World's First 🌏

🇸🇬 Singapore is now the first country to have an art installation 7,000 metres beneath the ocean 🇯🇵

It comprises three metal cubes designed by Singaporean artist Lakshmi Mohanbabu, the first Singaporean to send her artwork into space on the International Space Station in 2022.

A tribute to all those impacted by natural disasters, the artwork was installed near the Mariana Trench off the coast of Japan by NuStar Technologies in December last year.

They were deployed as part of a specially designed early warning seismic sensor for undersea earthquakes, in collaboration with Japan’s Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology (JAMSTEC).

One of the cubes was made using a new hybrid manufacturing process developed by Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore).

This historic milestone coincides with Singapore’s SG60 celebrations.
