Today, an international team of researchers finally explain what is hidden in these objects: small supermassive black holes surrounded by a cocoon of ionized gas rapidly growing. The study is published in Nature, which makes it its cover this week. The "Little R…
Astrophysicists Discover 'Little Red Dot' as Early Universe's Young Supermassive Black Hole
Astrophysicists from the University of Copenhagen have discovered that the enigmatic “little red dots” visible in images of the early universe are rapidly growing black holes shrouded in ionized gas. This groundbreaking finding offers significant insights into the formation of supermassive black holes after the Big Bang. The small red dot is a young supermassive [...] The post Astrophysicists Discover ‘Little Red Dot’ as Early Universe’s Young S…
