The use of a Chile telescope, astronomers have obtained a high-speed collision between two galaxies located in more than 11 billion lights on the force, known as the universe conflagcan sculpt their surroundings and influence evolution of galaxies.
The new findings describe an exciting galactic between the galaxy to the right of the image above, hosting an active feeding black holea quasar, in its center, and its neighbor to the left, pumped by strong radiation that can destroy its ability to be new tow.
“We called this system ‘cosmic joust,'” Pasquier notrdaeme, an insult by Institut d’Astrophysique de Paris in France, who included a new study, saying a new study statement.
GINGANS J012555.11-012925.00, Quasar is usually very clear that it surrounds its surroundings, which is a point of light. However, using the atacama large millimeter / submillimeter array (Alma), a network of 66 Chilean radio dishes working together as a giant telescope, astronomers have extended secondary galaxies.
Observations reveal that companion galaxy continues to carry galaxy to about 1.2 million miles per hour (2 million kilometers per hour).
To learn how the QUASAR radiation affects the accompanying galaxy, researchers use the X-shooter instrument in Very large telescope (VLT), also located in Chile. By analyzing Quasar’s light as it passed through other galaxies, they found radiation blasting except gas in accompanied galaxy, leaving compact cloulets very little to form new stars.
“We see the first time the impact of radiation in a quasar directly to the internal gas structure in a regular galaxy,” Sergei Balashev, a researcher of the IOffe StormeStituta in Russia, which is primarily in the study, said the statement.
The gravitational forces of play also runs a lot of gas toward the black hole, allowing it to keep feeding quasar feeding, finding the study.
“These mergers are thought to bring a lot of gas to supermssless black holes living in Galaxy centers,” Balashev said.
The study was published on Wednesday (May 21) in the journal Nature.
