Oldest quasars ever observed in early universe are extremely lonely

The oldest quasars ever observed in the early universe are not just incredibly distant but also extremely lonely. These ancient cosmic objects, which date back more than 13 billion years, formed when the universe was less than a billion years old. Powered by supermassive black holes, quasars emit immense energy, outshining entire galaxies. However, what makes these quasars particularly intriguing is their isolation—they are situated in vast cosmic voids, far from other galaxies, stars, and celestial structures.

In contrast to the modern universe, which is teeming with galaxies and interconnected cosmic structures, these ancient quasars are surrounded by emptiness. Their solitary existence challenges current models of galaxy formation, which suggest that such massive black holes typically reside in dense environments. This discovery prompts scientists to reconsider how these quasars grew so massive in such sparse regions.

The study of these lonely quasars offers valuable insights into the conditions of the early universe, revealing how matter was distributed and how structures formed in the first billion years after the Big Bang. Understanding these isolated quasars helps astronomers piece together the cosmic puzzle of how supermassive black holes and galaxies evolved over time.

"Meet Porphyrion: the black hole that just redefined our understanding of the universe! These jets span 23 million light-years, forming one of the largest cosmic structures ever recorded. 🌌✨ 

How do these massive jets come from something so small? Mind blown! 🤯

I’m not even a twilight fan but I keep watching this and can’t stop listening to Supermassive Black hole

[nasa]

A Mesmerizing Model of Monster Black Holes

Just about every galaxy the size of our Milky Way (or bigger) has a supermassive black hole at its center. These objects are ginormous — hundreds of thousands to billions of times the mass of the Sun! Now, we know galaxies merge from time to time, so it follows that some of their black holes should combine too. But we haven’t seen a collision like that yet, and we don’t know exactly what it would look like. 

A new simulation created on the Blue Waters supercomputer — which can do 13 quadrillion calculations per second, 3 million times faster than the average laptop — is helping scientists understand what kind of light would be produced by the gas around these systems as they spiral toward a merger.

The new simulation shows most of the light produced around these two black holes is UV or X-ray light. We can’t see those wavelengths with our own eyes, but many telescopes can. Models like this could tell the scientists what to look for. 

You may have spotted the blank circular region between the two black holes. No, that’s not a third black hole. It’s a spot that wasn’t modeled in this version of the simulation. Future models will include the glowing gas passing between the black holes in that region, but the researchers need more processing power. The current version already required 46 days!

The supermassive black holes have some pretty nifty effects on the light created by the gas in the system. If you view the simulation from the side, you can see that their gravity bends light like a lens. When the black holes are lined up, you even get a double lens!

But what would the view be like from between two black holes? In the 360-degree video above, the system’s gas has been removed and the Gaia star catalog has been added to the background. If you watch the video in the YouTube app on your phone, you can moved the screen around to explore this extreme vista. Learn more about the new simulation here.

Astronomers Detect Matter Falling into Black Hole

University of Leicester’s Professor Ken Pounds and co-authors report the detection of matter falling into a black hole at 30% of the speed of light.

It is now well established that a supermassive black hole lies in the center of most galaxies, and further that it accretes matter through a disk.

With sufficient matter (interstellar gas clouds or even isolated stars) falling into the black hole, these can become extremely luminous, and are seen as a quasar or active galactic nucleus (AGN).

The orbit of matter around the black hole is often assumed to be aligned with the rotation of the black hole, but there is no compelling reason for this to be the case. In fact, the reason we have summer and winter is that the Earth’s daily rotation does not line up with its yearly orbit around the Sun.

Until now it has been unclear how misaligned rotation might affect the in-fall of matter. This is particularly relevant to the feeding of supermassive black holes since matter can fall in from any direction.

Using data from ESA’s XMM-Newton X-ray Observatory, Professor Pounds and colleagues looked at X-ray spectra from PG1211+143, a Seyfert galaxy (characterized by a very bright AGN resulting from the presence of the massive black hole at its nucleus) located in the constellation Coma Berenices, about one billion light-years away.

The team found the spectra to be strongly red-shifted, showing the observed matter to be falling into PG1211+143’s black hole at the enormous speed of 30% of the speed of light, or around 62,000 miles per second (100,000 km per second).

The gas has almost no rotation around the black hole, and is detected extremely close to it in astronomical terms, at a distance of only 20 times the black hole’s size (its event horizon, the boundary of the region where escape is no longer possible).

“The galaxy we were observing with XMM-Newton has a 40-million-solar-mass black hole which is very bright and evidently well fed,” Professor Pounds said.

“Indeed some 15 years ago we detected a powerful wind indicating the black hole was being over-fed. While such winds are now found in many active galaxies, PG1211+143 has now yielded another ‘first,’ with the detection of matter plunging directly into the black hole itself.”

“We were able to follow an Earth-sized clump of matter for about a day, as it was pulled towards the black hole, accelerating to a third of the velocity of light before being swallowed up by the hole.” source

The extremely energetic ⚡️ ultra luminous quasars (top right - artistic illustration) are some of the most interesting deep space objects. . Quasars are thought to be crucial in craving out our universe from devouring matter by their super massive black holes, to emitting highly energetic radiation during accretion. . Better understanding of quasars would give us insights into how the vast structures of cosmic galactic filaments formed. . There are at least two ways to study quasars: 1) by examining those that are located relatively close such as the spiral galaxy IC 2497 (650 million light years away) that turned into a quasar as another galaxy avoided a head on collision (left), and Seyfert galaxies that have quasar-like nuclei but whose host galaxy can be clearly seen (bottom right - Circinus (Seyfert) galaxy). .
