Nearby galaxy M83 has found a new black hole. It was named
as MQ1 and the first object of its kind to be studied in this much detail. A team
of Australian and American astronomers have found it.
The black hole in MQ1 is only about 100 kilometers wide; the
MQ1 structure -- as identified by the Hubble Space Telescope -- is much bigger
than our Solar System, as the jets around it extend about 20 light years from
either side of the black hole.
The discovery of MQ1 and its characteristics is just one of
the results of the comprehensive study of galaxy M83, a collection of millions
of stars located 15 million light years away from Earth
The team found a object containing much power and like as
MQ1. Still they are unable to find out the size. Dr Roberto Soria senior
research of Curtin University who is part of the International Center for Radio
Astronomy Research (ICRAR) and led the team investigating MQ1, said it was
important to understand how stars were formed, how they evolved and how they
died, within a spiral shaped galaxy like M83
M83, the iconic Southern-sky galaxy, is being mapped with
the Hubble Space and Magellan telescopes (detecting visible light), the Chandra
X-ray Observatory (detecting light in X-ray frequencies), the Australia
Telescope Compact Array and the Very Large Array (detecting radio waves).
