A mid-sized black hole lurking undetected in a dwarf galaxy revealed itself to astronomers when it gobbled up an unlucky star that strayed too close, according to aThe discovery made it possible to determine the black hole's mass. It could also help scientists better comprehend how black holes and galaxies interact.
Then, the scientists used NASA's Hubble space telescope to look at the aftereffect know as 2020neh. As seen in the image, the ultraviolet camera on Hubble's spacecraft observed a ring of stars forming around the galaxy's nucleus.Ramirez-Ruiz and coauthor Brenna Mockler from UC Santa Cruz were the first to suggest this approach, which up until this point had only been demonstrated to be effective for supermassive black holes.
The discovery has created widespread excitement because tidal disruption events also aid in finding more intermediate-mass black holes in quiet dwarf galaxies, explained coauthor Ryan Foley who helped plan the YSE survey.
