“Webb” found “small red dots” in the space with inexplicably huge black holes

The James Webb space observatory allowed to look into the early Universe, where scientists saw a lot of unexpected, which could change our idea of ​​its evolution. For example, developed by the years of the galaxy and too large black holes, which is difficult to explain with generally accepted theories. But, like any tool, Webb allows you to find answers to the questions asked. Only time and observation are needed.

In the spring of 2024, for the first time, it became known about the opening of WebBB of the new class of galaxies. In the infrared images obtained by the observatory, there were many “red dots”, which, during further study, were classified as distant galaxies. They were called galaxies “small red dots” (Little Red Dots, LRD). Later it was found that these galaxies may contain ultra -massive black holes in their centers, in other words, to be considered quasars or active cores of galaxies.

But these were not the quasars to which we used to open after their opening about 70 years ago. The active nuclei of “small red dots” were not observed in the X -ray and, in general, were relatively weak. A new job, which so far is only present on the ARXIV preprint website, was aimed at a more detailed study of LRD galaxies and, it seems, opened their sensory.

Thanks to additional observations and calculations, scientists were able to accurately compile a 3D card of the location of the seven LRD galaxies. All identified galaxies were a distance of about 1.5 billion light years from a large explosion. The assessment of the stellar population of galaxies showed that in each of them there are about 10 % of the mass on the central ultra -massive black holes. This is extremely a lot – up to 1000 times more massive than it was customary to believe. In the galaxies surrounding us and where we can determine the mass of the counter, these objects account for no more than 0.01 % of the mass. At the same time, the diameter of the LRD galaxies is the total unit of percent of the diameter, say, the Milky Way.

On the other hand, the opening of the Galaxies of “Little Red Points” can be a step towards explaining a phenomenon such as too fast growth of ultra -massive black holes. In the early Universe, many exorbitantly large counts were discovered less than a billion years after the Big Bang, which cannot be explained by the generally accepted theory of evolution of these objects.

There is a hypothesis that they were originally large, born from massive seeds from the clouds of primary matter. The opening of the LRD galaxies can hint at a different scenario, namely, the high concentration of matter in the space of the early Universe, which allowed black holes to eat to the limit of its capabilities and quickly gain mass.
