JWST identifica estrella-agujero negro primitiva

Astrónomos que utilizan el Telescopio James Webb dijeron haber identificado un objeto del tamaño del Sistema Solar que existió 660 millones de años después del Big Bang y que podría constituir una nueva clase de “estrella-agujero negro”. Investigaciones publicadas en Nature describieron observaciones espectroscópicas que indican que la fuente es un agujero negro supermasivo rodeado de un gas extremadamente denso y libre de polvo, evidenciado por un marcado salto de Balmer. El equipo, que incluye a investigadores de la Universidad de Hawái y del MIT, denominó al objeto MoM-BH*-1 y señaló que su intensa emisión podría explicar los previamente observados “puntos rojos pequeños” en los primeros momentos del cosmos.
