Scientists discover brightest and fastest-growing black hole in the universe
科学家发现宇宙中最亮且增长最快的黑洞
Australian researchers have uncovered a massive black hole, 17 billion times bigger than our Sun, that devours the equivalent of one Sun each day. The study, featured in Nature Astronomy, reveals a distant quasar housing the fastest-growing black hole that has ever been documented. “It’s a surprise it remained undetected until now,” remarked co-author Christopher Onken from the Australian National University (ANU).
澳大利亚研究人员发现了一个巨大的黑洞，比太阳大 170 亿倍，每天吞噬相当于一个太阳的大小。 这项发表在《自然天文学》杂志上的研究揭示了一个遥远的类星体，其中蕴藏着有史以来有记录以来增长最快的黑洞。 澳大利亚国立大学 (ANU) 的合著者克里斯托弗·翁肯 (Christopher Onken) 表示：“令人惊讶的是，直到现在它仍未被发现。”
